The Solar-B mission will launch in 2006 with three telescopes: a high resolution
visible light telescope feeding filtergraph and spectropolarimeter focal plane
instruments, a grazing incidence X-Ray telescope and an EUV spectrograph. This
combination of instruments will provide detailed information on Active Region
evolution, heating, connectivity and dynamics. The X-Ray telescope on Solar-B
will be sensitive to emission from 1-50MK. Focal plane filters will allow us
to follow the evolution of the bulk of the coronal plasma. This poster will
describe the LWS science that will be done by XRT together with EIS and SOT.
Joint observations with SDO will also be discussed.
