It weighs about 2000 kg.
It has 5 m^2 proportional counters in all-sky as well as pointing operational mode, 5000 cm^2 ‘semiwich’ detectors with He proportional counters, to have spectro-polarimetric capabilities and a 500 cm^2 focusing detector with Silicon Drift Detectors, which will operate in the 0.5 – 30.0 keV region.
This will enable the detailed spectral, timing, and polarization studies of a large number of X-ray sources.
