Scientific paper

Equipment for measuring X-ray emission of extraterrestrial sources in the range from 0.2 to 10 keV is described. This equipment has been installed on board the manned orbiting station Salyut-4. The equipment consists of three detectors with a total area of 450 sq cm for the energy range from 2 to 10 keV, and one detector with an effective area of 40 sq cm for the range 0.2 to 2 keV. Gas flow proportional counters are used as the detectors. A gas flow system supplies a gas mixture for the counters. To determine source coordinates, two star sensors are installed. In addition, the equipment includes a power supply and the instrument electronics. The X-ray detectors, all optical sensors and the gas flow system are mounted on the outside of the station while the power supply and electronics are inside.
