MAXI (ISS experiment)
The instrument uses several wide field of view X-ray detectors, including the Gas Slit Camera (GSC) and the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC),[1] to monitor astronomical X-ray sources for variability.MAXI conducts a full sky survey every 96 minutes (one ISS orbit).In August 2022 a fast X-ray follow-up observation program was started with the NICER instrument named "OHMAN (On-orbit Hookup of MAXI and NICER)" to detect sudden bursts in X-ray phenomena.JAXA has extended mission duration multiple times with the latest extension to March 2021.iWF-MAXI will utilize the i-SEEP (IVA-replaceable Small Exposed Experiment Platform) bus, an exposure adapter for middle-sized payloads in JEM-EF.
