Rosat is a German, U.S., United Kingdom project carrying a satellite borne X-ray telescope launched on 1 June 1990. One of the principal aims of the mission was to conduct a deep sky survey in the soft X-ray band. This was performed by scanning the sky in great circles in a plane perpendicular to the solar direction. The satellite carries two powerful coaligned grazing incidence telescopes observing in parallel in the soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet bands. The X-ray telescope is equipped with position sensitive proportional counters and a channel plate detector while the extreme ultraviolet telescope, called wide field camera, has two redundant channel plate detectors in the focal plane.
