This satellite, dubbed NinjaSat X-ray, would spend two years in low-Earth orbit (LEO) studying bright X-ray sources in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Once in low Earth orbit, the satellite will search for X-ray photons generated by bright X-ray sources in the Galaxy.
Furthermore, the satellite has been designed to undertake on-demand follow-up studies of transient objects detected by the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image . It's an X-ray camera on the International Space Station's Japanese Experiment Module. It is a significant target for astronomers because it contains a fast-spinning neutron star in a binary star system. It is also an excellent target for studying gravitational waves.
