Abstract

We are developing Wolter X-ray optics compatible with the short focal length and small size suitable for SmallSat missions. These X-ray Optics are compact lightweight Wolter-I X-ray optics which are affordable for low cost future missions. We are leveraging the recent and on-going development to build lightweight Wolter-I X-ray optics based on the electroformed nickel replication (ENR) technique. Recent results will be presented.
