Scientific paper

We briefly describe the Spectrum-X-Gamma spacecraft, scheduled for launch in late 1995. The emphasis is made on the principal possibility of simultaneous polarimetric observations with more conventional ways of investigation of celestial x-ray sources in a wide range of energies. We also describe our approach to the Monte-Carlo simulations of the instrument. These simulations are needed in order to understand the performance of the SXRP instrument in actual flight conditions. These conditions will include offsets of the focal point of SODART telescope from the SXRP symmetry axis, the converging beam from SODART and others. In order to get means of extracting polarization value under various conditions, distorting perfect modulation from polarized x-rays we are also creating analytical model. This model will permit to take into account the majority of such factors.
