The importance of the MinXSS mission is providing new spectral obser-vations of the solar SXR near the maximum of solar cycle 24, improving the understanding of how highly variable solar X-rays affect the ITM, and advancing the knowledge of flare energetics in the SXR. Measure the intensity of the soft x-ray spectrum from 0.6 keV (20?) to 25 keV (0.5?).
