It is planned to place the German X-ray satellite Rosat into orbit with the aid of the Space Shuttle in July 1987. A German aerospace company has defined the design of this satellite, its subsystems, and the telescope. In addition to lauching the satellite, NASA will also contribute to the mission by providing the High Resolution Imager (HRI). A second, smaller telescope will be provided by Great Britain. The Rosat mission has two objectives. The first one is related to the conducting of a complete survey of the celestial sphere with imaging telescopes during the first six months. This survey is the first of its kind in the history of X-ray astronomy. The second objective involves the performance of detailed investigations of selected sources during the time of one year. Attention is given to details concerning the scientific payload, aspects of mission and operation, the configuration of the satellite, and the satellite subsystems.
