Abstract

The 2nd generation of the X-ray Multi-Foil Optical (MFO) system for rocket experiment is presented Theoretical study of the multi-foil wide-field X-ray “Lobster eye” based optics addresses the X-ray monitoring for astrophysical applications. Previous Developments and Tests of Small X-ray Optical Systems for Space Applications in collaboration with Pennsylvania State University, Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics (REX I) were continued. A novel approach (REX II) based on the use of MFO optics in combination with quad Timepix X-ray detector and X-ray spectrometer is proposed and studied. MFO X-ray telescope is designed especially for the Water Recovery REX II sub-orbital rocket experiment. A designed optical system combined with Timepix X-ray detectors is described.
