Abstract	We propose a Fulfil Programme to observe six known supernova remnants (SNRs) inthe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Out of a large sample of 60, these sources arethe last having no or limited X-ray observations available. By filling this gap,we will have the largest and most complete flux-limited set of SNRs in a galaxyobserved with a single mission/instrument. This will provide an excellentbenchmark for the comparison of SNR populations of galaxies in the Local Groupand beyond. In addition, it will reveal the physical properties of each target,such as age, abundances, and progenitor type.

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.
