List of participating institutions
XRISM is being developed under an international collaboration of JAXA, NASA, and ESA. With NASA's close cooperation, this project has advanced as a joint project. In addition to the three space agencies, more than 100 astrophysicists and experts from universities and research institutes from Japan, the United States, and Europe have joined to contribute to the satellite development, development of observation instruments and data processing software, and to further formulate the scientific observing plan.
