The X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer (XIPE) is a mission proposed to ESA Small Mission Call 2012. Its main objective is to open the polarimetric window also in the X-rays with a set of two imaging focal plane polarimeters sensitive in the 2-10 keV energy range. Additional instruments are dedicated to solar flares polarimetry and Sun spectrophotometry. XIPE is largely based on existent items and mature technologies, nonetheless, it will give the chance to European community to perform a
