The Unconventional Stellar Aspect (USA) experiment to be launched in September 1995 on the Advanced Research and Global Observations Satellite (ARGOS) is a low-cost, quick---yet scientifically ambitious---x-ray timing experiment. It is designed for the dual purpose of scientific research in x-ray timing and time resolved spectroscopy and also for exploration of applications of x-ray sensor technology. Bright galactic x-ray binaries are used simultaneously for both scientific and applied objectives.
