Scientific paper

The design of the BAFZ telescope is described. It is based on the principle of total reflection of X-rays at grazing incidence. The reflecting mirrors consist of two successive and orthogonal sets of slightly shaped parabolic mirrors which are extremely thin to guarantee highest possible efficiency of the system. The feasibility of producing very thin X-ray reflecting mirrors at the present state of the art is demonstrated. Samples were manufactured and a quarter section was fabricated with three X-ray reflecting parabolic shaped mirrors 300 x 220 mm in size. Furthermore, test results show that the proposed design can withstand environmental loads experienced at launch by rocket or shuttle.
