Scientific paper

If all goes to plan early 1990 will see NASA launch the West German X-ray astronomy satellite ROSAT. On-board will be the main X-ray telescope designed to view the energy range 0.15 to 2.0 keV while alongside will be the XUV Wide Field Camera built by the United Kingdom to cover the lower energy band 0.062 to 0.21 keV. The prime objective of the mission is to perform an all-sky survey of soft X-ray sources with a sensitivity much better than has previously been possible and an energy band extending into the extreme ultraviolet, a region of the electromagnetic spectrum which has so far remained largely unexplored.
