Mission profile   Wide field monitor in the X/hard-X range to localize transients Fast (<1 min) autonomous follow-up observations with X-ray telescope (2000 cm2) with High resolution X-ray spectroscopy (0.1-10 keV range, 2eV resolution below 2 keV with TES microcalorimeters) Wider field (30-60’) for imaging with 5-10” resolution (CCD) for extended faint  structures and cluster survey Low background: 600 km equatorial orbit (as BeppoSAX) Trade-off study driven by scientific requirements is being carried out
