We outline a novel satellite mission concept, DEMON, aimed at
advancing our comprehension of both dark matter and dark energy, taking full advantage of two complementary methods: weak lensing and
the statistics of galaxy clusters. We intend to carry out a 5000 deg2 combined IR, optical and X-ray survey with galaxies up to a redshift of z~2 in order to determine the shear correlation
function. We will also find ~100000 galaxy clusters, making it
the largest survey of this type to date. The DEMON spacecraft will
comprise one IR/optical and eight X-ray telescopes, coupled to
multiple cameras operating at different frequency bands. To a great
extent, the technology employed has already been partially tested on
ongoing missions, therefore ensuring improved reliability.
