SMX is an abbreviation for the
Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor (SIS) Mixer developed
for the JEM/SMILES
mission. Two SMXs were installed in the JEM/SMILES and launched
on 11 September 2009 to observe weak submillimeter signal from
atmospheric minor molecules. Flight model performance
of the SMX is summarized in a paper:

Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor Mixers for JEM/SMILES
Mission",
