Paper Abstract
We present results from the Extended X-ray Off-Plane Spectrometer (EXOS) sounding rocket payload. The
payload was launched on November 13, 2009 and successfully obtained a spectrum of the Cygnus Loop Supernova
Remnant. The instrument observed in the ~20 - 110 Angstrom bandpass with high resolution (~50) by utilizing an offplane
reflection grating array. This payload is also the 2nd flight for a relatively new type of detector, the Gaseous
Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector. We discuss the performance of these technologies in flight, as well as an overview
of our plans for the next flight of this design.
