Abstract
The Unconventional Stellar Aspect (USA) experiment to be launched in September 1995 on the Advanced Research and Global Observations Satellite (ARGOS) is a low‐cost, quick—yet scientifically ambitious—x‐ray timing experiment. It is designed for the dual purpose of scientific research in x‐ray timing and time resolved spectroscopy and also for exploration of applications of x‐ray sensor technology. Bright galactic x‐ray binaries are used simultaneously for both scientific and applied objectives.
