Abstract We propose the continuation in AO-2 of an ambitious long-term programme tosurvey the inner regions of the Galaxy using XMM-Newton. Our revised strategyinvolves the mapping of a strip of the Galactic Plane between Galacticlongitudes 6-22 degrees. The XMM observations will surpass current X-ray data bya factor of 100 in sensitivity whilst providing excellent spatial and spectralresolution. Complementary radio, optical and near-IR imaging will provide a keyasset for the interpretation of the X-ray data. This survey will lead to majoradvances in our understanding of accretion processes, star formation, stellarcoronae, SNRs and the hot ISM.

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.
