Abstract: The two very prominent BL Lac objects PKS 2155-304 and Mrk 421 have been observed repeatedly as calibration targets for the various instruments on board of XMM-Newton and Chandra. We present a short discussion of these publicly available data and highlight first results and the potential capabilities of these X-ray missions.
