Scientific paper

The Array of Low-Energy X-ray Imaging Sensors (ALEXIS) experiment uses a Pegasus-launched minisatellite to carry six wide-angle EUV/ultrasoft X-ray telescopes into a 400-nautical mile high-inclination orbit. The six telescopes, arranged in three pairs, will map out the sky in three narrow bandpasses around 66, 71, and 93 eV. The point-spread function of these telescopes is uniform over the entire field of view, with a FWHM of about 0.5 deg. A development status report is given for the project as of July, 1992.
