   The X-Ray Sensor (XRS) component of EXIS monitors solar flares through X-ray irradiance, allowing for the prediction of a solar particle event. [64] The XRS detects X-rays with wavelengths between 0.05–0.8 nm. [65] Together, the EXIS instrument weighs 30 kg (66 lb) and consumes 40 W of power. [64]
