Increase the precision of measurements of the Cosmic X-Ray Background (CXRB) in the 30-50 keV range. Constrain models that explain the relative contribution of cosmic X-Ray sources to the CXRB. Produce data that will lend insight into the underlyng physics of the Diffuse X-Ray Background. Provide flight heritage for CXT-based X-Ray gamma-ray detectors and CubeSat technologies.
