Scientific paper

We have measured the x-ray imaging performance of a grazing incidence telescope mirror, the HT #17, employing a hyperboloid-hyperboloid design. This design provides improved wide-field imaging compared to an optimally defocused Wolter Type I mirror. This improvement will be advantageous for future Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) missions that will provide full disk images of the sun with the Solar X-ray Imager (SXI). The x-ray measurements were made in the X-Ray Calibration Facility (XRCF) at Marshall Space Flight Center and the results are presented here.
