Summary
| Description |
English: The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) exploits the polarization state of light from astrophysical sources to provide insight into our understanding of X-ray production in objects such as neutron stars and pulsar wind nebulae, as well as stellar and supermassive black holes. Some of the technical and science objectives include improving polarization sensitivity, providing simultaneous spectral, spatial, and temporal measurements, determining how particles are accelerated in Pulsar Wind Nebulae, among others.
IXPE spacecraft Launch Date: December 2021 Launch Site: Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, FL Launch Vehicle: SpaceX Falcon 9 |

This logo image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE).svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
 | This logo image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.
