This has been another very important year for X-IFU with the formal appointment of the X-IFU Consortium by ESA. Most, if not all activities have focussed on the\u00a0preparation of the upcoming IPRR, and many significant progresses have been achieved in all corners of the instrument (technology, design\u2026). All this is now being\u00a0documented in the IPPR data pack which already counts over 4000 pages, split in more than 100 documents, demonstrating the breadth and extent of the work done.<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>2019 promises to be important as well, with the IPRR followed soon after by the MFR. Let us hope that everything goes smoothly, but we have all reasons to be proud as we have\u00a0an X-IFU entering the IPRR with performance comparable to or in some areas exceeding the ones that were promised to the community back at the time of the Athena mission\u00a0proposal. Thanks so much to Thien and the whole CNES team for leading the project, and thanks to all the consortium partners for their dedication and unfailing support to the project.\u00a0<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>I do hope that you will have some rest during the Christmas break and let me wish you a merry Christmas and a very happy new year !<br class=\"\" \/>Thanks and all the best,<\/p>\n<div><strong>Didier Barret<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Principal Investigator<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">PS: Thanks to Morgane for the X-IFU new year card with a simulated X-IFU cluster observation in the background (courtesy of E.
