MAXIM探路者（MP）任务正在研究中，作为完整的MAXIM x射线干涉测量任务的科学和技术垫脚石。完整的MAXIM将以0.1微弧秒的成像能力解决黑洞的视界问题，而MP将以100微弧秒的成像能力解决科学和技术问题，并具有解决微弧秒结构的一些能力。我们将介绍MP的主要科学目标。这些包括分辨恒星日冕，区分AGN中的喷流和吸积盘。本文还将介绍MP的基线设计。我们将概述具有挑战性的技术要求和解决方案，用于编队飞行、目标获取和计量。
The MAXIM Pathfinder (MP) mission is under study as a scientific and technical stepping stone for the full MAXIM X-ray interferometry mission. While full MAXIM will resolve the event horizons of black holes with 0.1 microarcsecond imaging, MP will address scientific and technical issues as a 100 microarcsecond imager with some capabilities to resolve microarcsecond structure. We will present the primary science goals of MP. These include resolving stellar coronae, distinguishing between jets and accretion disks in AGN. This paper will also present the baseline design of MP. We will overview the challenging technical requirements and solutions for formation flying, target acquisition, and metrology.
