The X-ray Spectrometer, XRS on board the ASTRO-E satellite is a cryogenic X-ray detector system utilizing a micro calorimeter array of 32 pixels operating at 60mK. An energy resolution of about 12eV (FWHM) has been obtained across the array in the ground calibration measurements. We adopted a unique three-stage cryogenic system consisting of solid neon, liquid helium, and an adiabatic de-magnetization refrigerator to obtain a long cryogenic lifetime in orbit. The design of the neon tank was optimized to obtain about 2 yr of the neon lifetime, which determines the lifetime of the whole cryogenic system.
