The increasing number of interesting variable X-ray sources asks for an instrument for continuously monitoring the brightness of the most important X-ray sources over the whole sky. We describe a system consisting of a set of identical large position-sensitive detectors, mounted on the sides of a polyhedral satellite. Each counter is illuminated through a large diaphragm, with binary shadow characteristics. By holographic methods, the X-ray image of the observed part of the sky could be derived from the illumination of each detector by multiplex analyzing methods. The satellite should have fairly coarse (half a degree accuracy) three-axial stabilization, and an on-board computer-steered data accumulation system.
