Abstract	We propose to use EPIC to image the western rim of the supergiant shell SMC-SGS1located in the Wing of the SMC. The 80 ks exposure is needed to study theinteractions and feedback between the large scale ISM structures and starformation. We will uncover hot diffuse gas, SNRs and X-ray binaries close to theactive star formation regions. The SMC Wing has low metallicity and low contentof gas, dust, and stars. This is the closest region with properties thatresemble conditions in the early Universe. It provides an ideal laboratory toinvestigate the effects of metallicity on ISM and star formation. Newobservations will lead to better understanding of the structure and evolution ofthe hot interstellar medium on galactic scales.

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.
