Scientific paper
Information is given concerning the satellite for X-Ray Astronomy SAX, a project of the Italian space agency in collaboration with the Netherlands agency for aerospace programs, due for launch at end 1993. The scientific objectives and the payload are described together with the ground system structure and organization. SAX is devoted to systematic, integrated and comprehensive studies of galactic and extragalactic X-ray sources in the energy band (0.1 to 300 keV); the observational goal to be addressed is to continue and expand upon previous spectral and timing observations of celestial sources in those areas for which the existing information is missing or inadequate and will remain uncovered in the forseeable future.
