Abstract GT-We propose to observe the galactic black hole binary source ofrelativistic jets GRS 1915+105. The aim of this proposal is tosearch for: 1 redshifted iron lines from the ejecta, 2 asymmetricemission lines from the accretion disk, 3 QPOs at a maximum frequencyof 67 Hz. Our first observation will be performed during a normal stateof the source, the other one during a flaring state. The trigger ofthe second observation will be determined thanks to the radio monitoringof the Green Bank Interferometer. A spectral state (i.e. flat spectrum)or a high flux may trigger the observation.

Mission Description The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
