日本宇宙航空研究开发机构/美国航天局联合ASTRO-H使命是空间和宇航科学研究所开发的一系列非常成功的X射线飞行任务中的第六个，计划于2015年发射。ASTRO-H使命配备了一套灵敏的仪器，其能量分辨率是有史以来达到的最高的，能量分辨率为E > 3 keV，能量范围很广，从软X射线到伽马射线的能量跨度为40年。同时的宽带通，加上高光谱分辨率的ΔE ≤ 7 eV的微量热计，将使各种重要的科学主题被追求。ASTRO-H预计将在宇宙的大尺度结构及其演化、强引力场体系中物质的行为、宇宙射线加速点的物理条件以及不同红移时星系团中暗物质的分布等多种科学领域提供突破性成果。
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planned launch in 2015. The ASTRO-H mission is equipped with a suite of sensitive instruments with the highest energy resolution ever achieved at E > 3 keV and a wide energy range spanning four decades in energy from soft X-rays to gamma-rays. The simultaneous broad band pass, coupled with the high spectral resolution of ΔE ≤ 7 eV of the micro-calorimeter, will enable a wide variety of important science themes to be pursued. ASTRO-H is expected to provide breakthrough results in scientific areas as diverse as the large-scale structure of the Universe and its evolution, the behavior of matter in the gravitational strong field regime, the physical conditions in sites of cosmic-ray acceleration, and the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters at different redshifts.
