The Tunable XUV Imager (TXI) Sounding Rocket Payload

Abstract

The TXI was flown successfully on 21 June 2001 (36.199 US). All systems functioned as planned and image data were acquired and sent to the ground. Unfortunately, due to a parachute failure the payload was destroyed. In this report we summarize results from the flight and provide detailed information on the high resolution X-ray imaging detector which was developed as part of the program.
