Objective
The main telescopes for Spectrum-X-y (SRG) are being developed through bilateral collaborations between the NIS and west European groups. SODART is primarily a Danish-Russian collaboration building a pair of long focal length x-ray telescopes (baseline 8m) with 2 arc minutes spatial resolution and sensitive collecting area extending from 0.2 to 16keV.
SODART incorporates eight selectable focal plane detectors which are being developed variously in Russia, Denmark, Finland and the USA. The mirrors are Danish; the Bragg spectrometer for high spectral resolution spectroscopy is provided by a Danish-German-Russian collaboration; and the telescope structure, focal plane mechanisms, electronics and deployment system are being developed in Russia. JET-X consists of a pair of 3.75m focal length x-ray telescopes, designed to operate between 0.3 and 10keV with better than 20 arcsec resolution, for high-resolution imaging spectroscopy of faint x-ray sources. Particular emphasis will be given to spectroscopy of high red-shift quasars and the diffuse x-ray background. JET-X is a UK-led instrument with Italian, German and Russian participation. The upper energy range, beyond 15keV, is covered by an Italian-Russian coded mask hard x-ray telescope (MART), whilst the lower energy EUV band, down to 60eV, is covered by an array of six multi-layer mirror narrow-band telescopes (EUVITA) being developed jointly by a Russian, Kirghiz, Swiss collaboration with US and French involvement. Additional payload equipment is being provided by groups from Hungary, Spain, Israel, France and the USA.
The spacecraft is the first in the new Spectrum series of astronomical satellites being developed by the Babakin Space Research Centre of the Lavochkin Association in Moscow. The spacecraft will be launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazahkstan and the mission will be operated from Russian ground stations linked to a science control centre at the Institute for Space Research (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The objective of this project are to integrate and test the complex of scientific instruments on the engineering model spacecraft, design modifications and performance analysis of the SODART telescope structures, and to support construction, testing and calibration of the EUVITA telescope prototype model.
