  Improving angular resolution is one of X-ray astronomy's big challenges.
While X-ray interferometry should eventually vastly improve broad-band angular
resolution, in the near-term, X-ray telescopes will sacrifice angular
resolution for increased collecting area and energy resolution. Natural
occultations have long been used to study sources on small angular scales, but
are limited by short transit times and the rarity of transits. We describe here
how one can make use of an X-ray Occulting Steerable Satellite (XOSS) to
achieve very-high resolution of X-ray sources, conventional X-ray telescopes.
Similar occulting satellites could also be deployed in conjunction with future
space observatories in other wavebands.
