Scientific paper

Following the success of Einstein, it is clear that telescopes of very large area (approximately 10,000 sq cm) with angular resolution (less than approximately 20 arcsec) are needed for deep X-ray surveys and other observations. After a discussion of these objectives, which form the basis of the NASA LAMAR mission, the design and performance of a five mirror telescope is described. The system was studied for possible flight on Spacelab to undertake observations and to act as a prototype module for LAMAR. Both diamond turning and replication methods of mirror production are discussed. The performance of a single Wolter I telescope with diamond turned mirrors will be described.
