RELEASE:  90-66

ROSAT SPACECRAFT TO EXPLORE HIGH ENERGY UNIVERSE

     Continuing a program in which it has been a pioneer, NASA 
will join with the U.S. Air Force and West Germany to launch the 
Roentgen Satellite (ROSAT) to expand human knowledge of the 
high-energy processes within the universe.  ROSAT is scheduled 
for launch aboard a McDonnell Douglas Delta II expendable launch 
vehicle from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., no earlier 
than May 31.

     ROSAT, a cooperative program between the United States and 
the Federal Republic of West Germany, originated from a 1975 
proposal to the Bundesminister fur Forschung und Technologie 
(BMFT) from scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut fur 
Extraterrestrische Physik (MPE) in Garching, FRG.  The mision 
will examine X-rays emitted by cosmic sources.  The mission's 
objective is a detailed survey of X-ray sources across the sky, 
followed by studies of some 1,000 of the anticipated 50,000 to 
100,000 sources that will be detected. 

     X-rays from astronomical bodies cannot be observed from 
ground level because the Earth's atmosphere blocks them.  Only 
instruments beyond the atmosphere can measure the X-ray sky, 
making X-ray astronomy a true product of the space program.

     Because X-ray emission is characteristic of very high 
temperatures, X-ray astronomy allows scientists to study 
high-energy processes in the universe.  Such high-temperature 
processes represent a small fraction of the energy generated by 
ordinary stars like the sun, but they can dominate the output of 
supernova remnants, quasars and celestial systems containing 
neutron stars or black holes. 

     NASA helped pioneer the development of X-ray astronomy, but 
the last NASA X-ray mission was the High Energy Astronomy 
Observatory (HEAO-2), nicknamed the Einstein Observatory because 
it was launched in 1979, the centennial year of physicist Albert 
Einstein's birth.  A landmark in the development of astronomy, 
the Einstein Observatory provided the first true images of 
X-ray-emitting objects.

                    ROSAT Science Objectives

     The ROSAT all-sky survey, which will take 6 months to 
complete, will use the imaging telescopes to measure positions of 
X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) sources to an accuracy of 0.5 
arc minutes, while obtaining fluxes and spectral information.

     The second stage of the mission will consist of pointed 
observations of selected sources.  Sources are chosen for the 
pointed phase based on proposals submitted by the astronomical 
community for peer review.  Outlined below are some of the topics 
to be explored in the pointed phase of observations.

     Different types of normal stars apparently emit X-rays by 
different mechanisms.  Relatively cool stars like the sun emit 
X-rays from an outer corona of hot, low-density gas (visible when 
the bright chromosphere is masked, as in an eclipse).  X-rays are 
thought to be produced in the stellar corona by interactions with 
the stellar magnetic field, heating gases to 1 million degrees or 
more.  Scientists do not fully understand the corona phenomenon, 
but with ROSAT they can study the corona effect in the stars. 

     Hot stars, which are 5 to 10 times hotter than the sun and 
10 to 100 times more massive, also are X-ray emitters.  In these 
stars it is believed that stellar winds carry shock-heated 
parcels of gas that emit X-rays.

     Very young stars are born in regions of contracting gas and 
dust that generally block astronomers view of X-rays.  As a 
molecular cloud condenses, temperatures climb, nuclear reactions 
begin and a star bursts into life.  The nature of X-ray emission 
from such young stars is a mystery that ROSAT will investigate.

     Supernova remnants, the remains of exploded massive stars, 
can tell scientists a great deal about the evolution of a star.  
The source of the explosion, the outward propagation, velocity 
and dynamics of the ejecta, the atomic composition of the debris 
and the evolution of the collapsed core are all questions of 
interest to astronomers.  Supernova 1006, observed in the year 
1006 AD, was the earliest recorded observation of a supernova in 
this galaxy.  X-radiation detected in the constellation Lupus is 
thought to be the remnant of that explosion.  ROSAT's 
high-resolution observations may show details of the distribution 
of material in this remnant.

     Compact objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars and 
black holes  evolve from dying stars when gravity has reduced 
them to the minimum possible volume for their mass.  The 
gravitational fields around black holes are so strong that not 
even light can escape, and the existence of black holes is only 
established by their effects on objects close to them.

     The high spatial resolution of the ROSAT telescope will 
allow determination of the first accurate positions for compact 
X-ray sources.  Many stars exist in binary systems, rotating 
around one another, with the compact member of the binary 
attracting a flow of X-ray emitting material from its companion.  
Detailed analysis of the X-ray data will give information about 
the size and shape of the system.

     Normal galaxies, both spiral and elliptical, produce X-rays.  
In spirals, the X-rays represent the accumulated emission from 
individual X-ray sources within the galaxy.  ROSAT, with its 
improved sensitivity and spatial resolution, will allow detection 
of these individual sources in many galaxies.  X-rays from 
elliptical galaxies, however, appear to originate in gas several 
millions of degrees in temperature.  This gas is gravitationally 
confined, and a knowledge of its temperature and density will 
enable scientists to determine the mass of the galaxy.  

     When comparing this mass with the mass of the stars 
comprising a galaxy, the difference will be a measure of dark 
matter associated with the galaxy.  The effects of dark matter 
were detected by the Einstein Observatory for a few galaxies.  
The greater sensitivity, spatial and spectral resolution of ROSAT 
will increase the sample of galaxies studied and place stronger 
constraints on the determination of mass and distribution of dark 
matter in elliptical galaxies.

     Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) make up a small percent of all 
galaxies.  Very large amounts of energy are released from their 
nuclei, much more than can be accounted for by the stars they 
contain.  The most well known class of AGN are quasars, which can 
be observed at very large distances because they are among the 
most luminous objects in the Universe.  The large emissions from 
AGNs suggest they are powered by the release of gravitational 
potential energy as matter accretes onto a massive central 
object, thought to be a black hole.  

     Current ideas favor the formation of a disc of accreting 
matter, heated by viscous forces as material is pulled inward 
onto the black hole.  Soft X-rays may originate in the 
hypothesized accretion disk.  ROSAT's soft-X-ray timing and 
spectral data may provide valuable information on the size and 
physical conditions in this disk.  Although extended optical and 
radio emitting regions have been found in many AGN, only a few 
cases of extended X-ray emission are known.  ROSAT's high spatial 
resolution and sensitivity will allow a detailed study of such 
phenomena, giving scientists clues to their physical origin.

     The first X-ray astronomy experiments discovered that 
clusters of galaxies emit extensive X-rays.  These emissions 
originate in the multi-million degree gas permeating each 
cluster, and the mass of this gas exceeds the mass of visible 
material.  The total mass of a cluster can be measured in the 
same way as for elliptical galaxies.  ROSAT will make it possible 
to estimate mass for lower temperature clusters emitting in the 
soft X-ray regime.

     The X-ray background comprises a uniform emission on which 
individual X-ray sources are superimposed.  This background 
radiation may be either an intergalactic gas smoothly distributed 
throughout the Universe or a large number of individual sources 
too numerous and weak to be resolved by current instruments.  The 
simplest way to resolve this question is to observe the 
background with increasingly sensitive and high 
spatial-resolution detectors to try to identify any individual 
sources resolved.

                        The Instruments

     The heart of the ROSAT spacecraft is the grazing-incidence 
X-ray telescope (XRT) developed in West Germany.  The XRT  
focuses low energy or RsoftS X-rays in the energy range of 0.1 to 
2 kilo electron volts (keV), corresponding to wavelengths of 100 
to 6 Angstroms, onto detectors in XRTUs focal plane.  

     This telescope consists of a four-fold nested Wolter type I 
mirror system with an 33-inch diameter and a 94-inch focal 
length, optimal with respect to survey sensitivity and on-axis 
collecting area at 1 keV.  A carousel in the focal plane assembly 
carries two virtually identical West German Position Sensitive 
Proportional Counters (PSPC) and a single U.S.-supplied High 
Resolution Imager (HRI).

     As a result of a separate agreement between West Germany and 
the United Kingdom, ROSAT also will carry a longer wavelength 
telescope supplied by the U.K. called the Wide Field Camera 
(WFC).  The WFC extends the measuring range to the extreme 
ultraviolet (XUV) region, with response over the energy range 
0.04 to 0.2 keV (300 to 60 Angstroms).  The WFC will view the sky 
simultaneously with the XRT, so that it can measure any XUV flux 
that might accompany X-ray emissions, in addition to discovering 
new sources that radiate primarily in the XUV during the survey.

                        X-ray Sky Survey

     A 2-month instrument calibration period will follow ROSAT's 
launch.  After calibration, the spacecraft will completely survey 
the celestial sphere.  The sky survey is performed by 
continuously scanning great circles 2 degrees wide and 
perpendicular to the Earth-sun line, which allows full-sky 
coverage in 6 months.  The scan rate of one rotation per orbit 
will avoid wasted time due to Earth occultation.  ROSAT's X-ray 
survey will be the first by a true imaging telescope, and 
scientists anticipate that there will be almost a 100-fold 
increase over the number of sources detected previously in 
surveys conducted with mechanically collimated counters.  

     The X-ray sky survey will be performed with the PSPC at the 
focus of the XRT.  Its relatively large field of view (2 degrees 
circular compared to the 1 degree per day change in the direction 
of the Earth-sun line) and high sensitivity are ideally suited to 
this aspect of the mission.  The X-ray survey data will be 
analysed and published by the Max-Planck Institut fur 
Extraterrestrische Physik.

                             - 10 -

     The concurrent XUV survey, performed by the WFC with its 
5-degree field, will be the very first conducted in its portion 
of the electromagnetic spectrum and will be capable of detecting 
sources at a level 1,000 times weaker than the brightest known 
XUV source, the white dwarf star HZ43.  The results of the XUV 
survey will be analysed and published by the WFC consortium. 

                      Pointed Observations

     After the survey, the mission will be devoted to pointed 
observations.  The nominal mission lifetime contains 1 year of 
pointed observations, but the spacecraft orbit has been chosen to 
guarantee at least 1 additional year of observations.  The PSPC 
counter gas is the only consumable in the payload, and the gas 
should not be exhausted for at least 2 years of pointed 
operation. 

     U.S. guest investigators have been allocated 50 percent of 
the time allotted for pointed observations with the XRT, with the 
remaining time being shared by the West Germans (38 percent) and 
the British (12 percent).  Guest investigators can choose the 
pointing directions, instrument parameters and durations of the 
observations.  After 1 year of proprietary ownership, all 
pointed-mode X-ray data enter the public domain and are available 
for archival research. 

                    ROSAT Launch Operations

     The 6555th Aerospace Test Group, U.S. Air Force Eastern 
Space and Missile Center, is responsible for the preparation and 
launch of the Delta II which will carry the 5333 lb. (2424 kg) 
ROSAT into a circular orbit of 359 statute miles (580 km) with an 
inclination of 53 degrees.

     ROSAT spacecraft  pre-launch processing was accomplished by 
the West German Institute for Air and Space Flight cooperating 
with the Kennedy  Space Center's Payloads Operations Directorate.  
Processing included functional testing, installation of the wide 
field camera and interface tests with the German mission control 
center at Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich.

     Launch operations will be conducted from the Complex 17 
blockhouse by a USAF/McDonnell Douglas team under the direction 
of the 6555th Aerospace Test Group.  The hypergolic propellants 
for the second stage will be loaded approximately three days 
prior to launch.  The RP-1 (kerosene) fuel for the first stage 
and the supercold liquid oxygen oxidizer for the first stage will 
be loaded during the terminal countdown.

     NASA will oversee the launch vehicle and support ROSAT 
flight preparations.  A Kennedy Space Center launch manager will 
represent NASA during vehicle preparations and countdown and 
serve as liaison with the Air Force.  The launch manager will be 
located in the Mission Director's Center on CCAFS to monitor 
launch countdown operations and will provide the final NASA 
concurrence for launch to the USAF launch director.

                    DELTA II Launch Vehicle

     A United States Air Force Delta II 6920-10 expendable launch 
vehicle, featuring the largest payload fairing flown on a Delta 
to date, will lift ROSAT into low-Earth orbit.  Based on the 
Titan fairing McDonnell Douglas Space System Company (MDSSC) has 
built for years, the 10-foot-diameter fairing will be the first 
three-section fairing used on a Delta vehicle.  Fairings 
previously used on Deltas have consisted of two sections.  This 
configuration accommodates ROSAT and other payloads requiring a 
larger volume than offered by the 9.5-foot and 8-foot fairings 
flown previously.  NASA funded the development of the 10-foot 
fairing for the Delta rocket.

     The  fairing uses the MDSSC contamination-free thruster 
joints to separate into three sections.  MDSSC fairings, which 
are manufactured at the MDSSC plant in Pueblo, Colo., have a 100 
percent success record.

     The ROSAT launch will be the 10th flight for the Delta II.  
Delta's origins reach back to the mid-1950s, when the U. S. Air 
Force developed the Thor intermediate-range ballistic missile.  
NASA later modified the Thor, a single-stage, liquid-fueled 
missile, for the Delta launch vehicle.  The two-stage Delta II 
carrying ROSAT consists of four major assemblies:  the first 
stage, including nine strap-on solid rocket motors, the 
interstage, the second stage and the payload fairing.  Initial 
system improvements incorporated into the Delta II include a 
12-foot  extension in the first-stage tanks for added propellant 
capacity and the use of Morton-Thiokol Caster IVA solid rocket 
boosters.

     The Delta II is 123.4 feet tall and 8 feet in diameter.  The 
payload fairing is 26 feet tall and 10 feet in diameter.  The  
first-stage main engine has a liftoff thrust of 207,000 pounds, 
and each of the nine solid strap-on motors has a sea-level thrust 
of 97,070 pounds.  The main engine and six of the nine solid 
motors are burning at liftoff, providing a total liftoff thrust 
of 789,420 pounds.  The second set of three solid strap-on motors 
is ignited during the first stage burn.  The second-stage engine 
has a vacuum-rated thrust level of 9,645 pounds.

     Several major subcontractors contribute to the Delta vehicle 
built by MDSSC:  The Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell 
International in Canoga Park, Calif., is responsible for the 
first-stage main engine; Aerojet TechSystems Co. in  Sacramento, 
Calif., builds the second-stage engine; Morton Thiokol of 
Huntsville, Ala., manufactures the solid rocket boosters; and 
Delta Systems of Goleta, Calif., produces the guidance computer.

                          NASA's Role

     The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Greenbelt, Md., is 
the lead NASA center for the U.S. portion of ROSAT.  GSFC managed 
the development and delivery of the High Resolution X-ray Imager 
fabricated at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 
Cambridge, Mass., and assured the instrument's integration into 
the XRT focal plane.  GSFC also managed all aspects of launch 
vehicle preparation and its mating to the spacecraft.  

     NASA will provide initial spacecraft tracking and orbit 
determination until these tasks can be assumed by West Germany at 
its ground station at Weilheim and Operations Control Center at 
Oberpfaffenhofen a few hours after launch.  NASA also is prepared 
to provide, on request, spacecraft engineering data capture and 
transmission to Germany in case of an emergency during the life 
of the spacecraft. 

     GSFC is developing a comprehensive U.S. ROSAT Science Data 
Center (USRSDC), and is responsible for providing all U.S. guest 
investigators with their data and the software necessary for 
analysis.  Data centers will be established at both the GSFC and 
at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for the convenience 
of guest investigators, but investigators also will be able to 
perform most of their analyses at their home institutions.  GSFC 
also is establishing an accessible ROSAT data archive that can be 
used in conjunction with data sets from other missions.

     The USRSDC supports astronomers in their preparation of 
proposals for pointed phase observations through the Mission 
Information and Planning System (MIPS).  MIPS is a software 
system that provides a proposer with information such as 
observation times appropriate for a given source.  It was used by 
137 different astronomers across the U.S. for the first round of 
proposals.  Following the results of a questionnaire distributed 
to users, the USRSDC staff is making improvements in preparation 
for the second round of proposals.

     In the first round, 354 proposals were received by NASA. The 
USRSDC assisted NASA Headquarters in the review and selection of 
these investigations by performing technical evaluations and 
organizing the independent  peer review.  USRSDC staff were on 
hand during the peer review to answer technical questions.

     GSFC is responsible for processing and distributing ROSAT 
pointed-phase data.  Initially all data are processed at the 
German Space Operation Center (GSOC) in Oberpfaffenhofen, West 
Germany.

     Video tapes containing master data records are then shipped 
to the Max Plank Institute in Garching, West Germany, and to 
GSFC, where they are processed to create the files for 
distribution to guest investigators. These files also are 
archived by the USRSDC and will be made generally available 1 
year after calibrated data has been delivered to the 
investigator.
