Scientific paper

The primary objective of the X-ray imaging telescope on STARPROBE is the acquisition of very high spacial resolution observations during the spacecraft's perihelion passage. Design parameters, telescope prefilters, and structural and thermal analyses of the equipment are described and discussed. It is believed that the spatial resolution of the information recorded by the baseline design would be at least a factor of 10 better than can be reasonably expected from Earth orbit. Thermal models used in the study are also discussed.
