This is an ambitious but achievable program with the potential for results which will be highly significant to physicists worldwide. The expected outcomes have the potential to alter our understanding of fundamental physics, and will demonstrate that Australia's high-energy research ability is on par with the world's best. The techniques of X-ray astronomy are increasingly a standard part of the professional astronomer's toolkit, although Australia has a limited track record in recent years. The international collaborations that this project will build and maintain will help to improve access to, and utilisation of, multi-million dollar international satellite observatories by local observers.

这是一个雄心勃勃但可以实现的计划，有可能产生对世界各地的物理学家具有非常重要意义的结果。预期的结果有可能改变我们对基础物理学的理解，并将证明澳大利亚的高能研究能力与世界上最好的水平不相上下。X射线天文学技术日益成为专业天文学家工具箱的标准组成部分，尽管澳大利亚近年来的记录有限。该项目将建立和维持的国际合作将有助于改善当地观察员获得和利用价值数百万美元的国际卫星观测站的机会。
