Abstract
The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) project was initiated in 2018. Following the development of onboard components, the proto-flight was conducted from 2021 to 2023 at JAXA Tsukuba Space Center. The spacecraft was launched from JAXA Tanegashima Space Center on September 7, 2023, and onboard components, including the observation instruments, were activated during the three months of the in-orbit commissioning phase. Following the previous report in 2020, we report the spacecraft ground tests, the launch operation, in-orbit operations, and the status and plan of initial and following guest observations.
