The Diffuse X-ray Spectrometer (DXS) experiment is part of NASA’s SHEAL 2 mission, scheduled to be flown as an attached Shuttle payload in 1992. The DXS is designed to measure the spectrum of the low energy (0.15 to 0.28 keV) diffuse x-ray background with energy resolution better than 0.01 keV. This paper describes the DXS experiment and presents the results of calculations of the anticipated data.
