XMM-Newton will continue to be the workhorse in X-ray
Astronomy in Europe for the coming years. New opportunities to explore
its already rich science archive are now emerging by accessing to
multiple observations of the same target that have been completed
throughout the years.
Concerning future X-ray Astronomy missions, the long
term target for the whole international world-wide community is IXO
(International X-ray Observatory), to which success our team is fully
commited.
On a shorter time frame, an opportunity has arosen for Spain to become a partner of SIMBOL-X.
