Abstract :
[en] Simbol-X is a mission initially driven by the French and Italian space agencies. This is a formation flying satellite whose main interest is an unprecedented imaging and spectral capability, with a high sensitivity at energies between 10 and 80 keV. This space observatory is especially designed to study acceleration processes in astrophysical sources, along with extreme physics under relativistic conditions. I will briefly present the current status of the mission. I will also discuss prospects for future observations of massive stars with Simbol-X, aiming at probing the physics of particle acceleration in colliding-wind massive binaries.
