Abstract
The extensive simulation tools compiled for the ACT Vision Mission Concept Study are applied to estimate the performance of a potential MEGA space mission. The tools allow the detailed simulation of the different background components expected for the satellite's desired low-earth orbit. We present the expected narrow-line sensitivities of a MIDEX-sized telescope and show that a sensitivity 10 times better than that of COMPTEL is achievable.
