The Italian contribution to the IXPE mission is supported by the Italian Space Agency through agreement ASI-INAF n.2017-12-H.0 and ASI-INFN agreement n.2017-13-H.0. IXPE work at Ball Aerospace is funded by MSFC under contract NNM15AA18C.The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) will add polarization to the properties (time, energy, and position) observed in x-ray astronomy. A NASA Astrophysics Small Explorer (SMEX) in partnership with the Italian Space Agency (ASI), IXPE will measure the 2-8-keV polarization of a few dozen sources during the first 2 years following its 2021 launch. The IXPE Observatory includes three identical x-ray telescopes, each comprising a 4-m-focal-length (grazingincidence) mirror module assembly (MMA) and a polarization-sensitive (imaging) detector unit (DU), separated by a deployable optical bench. The Observatory's Spacecraft provides typical subsystems (mechanical, structural, thermal, power, electrical, telecommunications, etc.), an attitude determination and control subsystem for 3-axis stabilized pointing, and a command and data handling subsystem communicating with the science instrument and the Spacecraft subsystems.ELETTRONICOenConference paper10.1117/12.25306462-s2.0-85076902662000511172300023https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/11118/2530646/The-Imaging-X-Ray-Polarimetry-Explorer-IXPE--technical-overview/10.1117/12.2530646.full?SSO=1&tab=ArticleLink2019SPIE11118E..0VOFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_10 High energy and particle astronomy – X-rays, cosmic rays, gamma rays, neutrinos
