Abstract	The combination of the fast EPIC-pn modes and broad-band coverage with RXTEproved to be an effective means of exploring accretion in bright Galactic blackholes. XMM and NuSTAR provide an even more powerful combination. We propose tomake one joint 40~ks observation of a new or known black hole transient during abright, hard outburst phase. The goals of this program are to 1) measure thespin of the black hole via the Fe K-alpha line and broad-band disk reflectionspectrum, 2) test an apparent anti-correlation between winds and jets in softand hard states by making a very sensitive search for winds in a hard,intermediate, or very high state. This observation will be supported by anetwork of ground-based observatories and X-ray monitoring.

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.
