Scientific paper

It is expected that a large number (more than 100,000) of new sources will be discovered and located to an accuracy of 1 arcmin. After the survey, which will take about half a year, the instrument will be used for detailed observations of selected targets. The X-ray telescope comprises a fourfold nested Wolter type I mirror system, with an aperture of 80 cm and a focal length of 240 cm, and three focal plane detectors. In the baseline version, these will be imaging proportional counters (0.1-2 keV) giving a field of view of 2 deg x 2 deg.
