Scientific paper
A scientific satellite, dedicated to X-ray astronomy, was launched into orbit from Kagoshima Space Center, University of Tokyo on February 21, 1979. 'Hakucho' (CORSA-b) is a spin-stabilized satellite which watches for the appearance of X-ray bursts in a sky region around the direction of the spin-axis, and scans and surveys a large part of the sky for X-ray sources. The direction of the spin-axis can be maneuvered to selected celestial locations. The outline of the mission, some technical details of the instrumentation, and the operational performance of the spacecraft are described. A short summary of the observational results is also presented.
