Marshall Space Flight Center imaging x-ray experiment (MIXE)
Brian D. Ramsey,Jeff Apple,Kurtis L. Dietz,Martin C. Weisskopf,Robert A. Austin,Jeffery J. Kolodziejczak,Takahisa Minamitani +6 more
TL;DR: The MIXE as mentioned in this paper is a state-of-the-art imaging proportional counter which utilizes fluorescence gating in order to achieve high sensitivity in the bandwidth from the xenon k-edge (35 keV) to 100 keV.

Jessica A. Gaskin,Colleen A. Wilson-Hodge,Brian D. Ramsey,Jeff Apple,Kurt Dietz,Allyn F. Tennant,Douglas A. Swartz,Steven Christe,Albert Y. Shih +8 more
TL;DR: The High Energy Replicated Optics to Explore the Sun (HEROES) project as mentioned in this paper was the first balloon-borne x-ray telescope to make observations of the Sun.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A high energy focal-plane gas scintillation proportional counter
TL;DR: In this article, the focus of hard-X-ray telescopes was developed for the HERO (High-Energy Replicated Optics) program, which consists of two high-pressure gas scintillation proportional counters.
