Arcus
(X-ray space telescope plan aiming for 2031 launch)
Arcus is a plan for an X-ray space observatory using
a grating spectrometer in the soft X-ray range, intending to
provide astronomical data on spectral lines previously unavailable.
It has been proposed but not selected for NASA missions and
remains a possibility for a future mission.
Or even more likely, the plan will offer ideas for other future
X-ray missions.
