The German X-ray observatory eROSITA (extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) is the prime instrument of the new Spectrum-RG mission. Launch of the Russian satellite is planned for the year 2011. The scientific goal of eROSITA is primarily the detection and analysis of 100 thousand clusters of galaxies in order to study the large scale structures in the Universe and to test cosmological models. The therefore required large effective area is obtained by an array of seven identical and parallel aligned Wolter-I telescopes. In the focus of each mirror module, there is a large frame store pnCCD detector, providing a field of view of 1° in diameter. The same X-ray detector type will also be applied for ART-XC, another grazing-incidence telescope system aboard Spectrum-RG, which permits the detection of heavily obscured X-ray sources. These scientific instruments allow the exploration of the X-ray Universe in the energy band from 0.3 keV to 11 keV. During a mission time of at least five years, an all-sky survey, wide as well as deep surveys and pointed observations will be performed. Approval and funding for eROSITA were granted by the German space agency DLR in April 2007. The conceptual design of the X-ray focal plane cameras is presented here comprising electrical, thermal, and mechanical aspects. Key part of the camera is the pnCCD detector chip, which is developed and produced in our semiconductor laboratory, the MPI Halbleiterlabor. The CCD was designed according to the specifications given by the scientific goals of eROSITA. The eROSITA CCD differs apparently from all previously produced frame store pnCCDs by its larger size and format. The CCD image area of the seven eROSITA cameras is in total 58 cm² large and their number of pixels is about seven times higher than that of the XMM-Newton pnCCD camera. First pnCCD devices were recently produced and tested. Their performance measurements and results are of most importance for eROSITA because the tested CCDs are the control sample of the flight detector production.

The XEUS mission (X-ray Evolving-Universe Spectroscopy Mission) is a future ESA project currently under study. With a mirror collecting area of up to 30 m² @ 1 keV and 3 m² @ 8 keV it will outperform the x-ray space observatories like XMM-Newton. In fact it will have a source flux sensitivity and angular resolution respectively 250 times and 7.5 times better if compared to that mission. This huge collecting area is obtained with a 10 m diameter telescope of 50 m focal length. It is foreseen that the whole telescope will be formed by two free flying satellites, one for the mirror assembly and the other for the detectors. The two satellites will be kept aligned by an active tracking/orbit control system. The angular resolution of the optics is set to 5 arcsec with a goal of 2 arcsec. Of course the requirement of high resolution and large diameter of the optics create new technological problems which have to be overcome. First of all the impossibility to create closed Wolter I shells (due to the large diameter) means that the optics will be assembled using rectangular segments of ~1 m x ~0.5 m size. A set of these segments will form a petal. The petals will be assembled to form the whole mirror assembly. Another difficulty arises from the fact that the current design foresees a mass/geometric-area ratio of 0.08 kg/cm², which is very small and much lower compared with XMM-Newton. Hence the use of materials that can offer both low weight and high stiffness is mandatory. The impossibility to have a thermal control for the huge area of the optics means also that the mirrors have to operate at temperatures between -30 and -40°C. This requirement excludes the epoxy-replication method as option for their manufacturing (CTE mismatch between resin and substrate). Considering all these constrains a possible solution for the realization of the XEUS mirrors has been found that foresees the use of glass or ceramics materials. In this paper we will describe an investigation currently on-going aimed at the development of a procedure to produce large mirror segments from thin Borofloat glass and the preliminary results obtained, that corroborate the viability of the proposed approach. A previous article has introduced the basic ideas and concepts behind this investigation.

The Max-Planck-Institut fuer extraterrestrische Physik (MPE), the Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam (AIP) and the Institute fuer Astronomie und Astrophysik der Universitat Tubingen (IAAT), together with European cooperation partners, have proposed to install an x-ray telescope on the International Space Station (ISS). The mission ROSITA will perform the first imaging all-sky survey in the medium energy x-ray range up to 10 keV with an unprecedented spectral and angular resolution. The main scientific goals are (1) to detect systematically all obscured accreting Black Holes in nearby galaxies and many new, distant active galactic nuclei, (2) to detect the hot intergalactic medium of several ten thousand galaxy clusters and groups and hot gas in filaments between clusters to map out the large scale structure in the Universe and to find in particular the rare massive distant clusters of galaxies for the study of cosmic structure evolution and (3) to study in detail the physics of galactic x-ray source populations, like pre-main sequence stars, supernova remnants, and x-ray binaries. In the hard x-ray band the ROSITA survey in this band, which was performed about 25 years ago. In the soft band the ROSITA survey will have a hundred times higher sensitivity and a hundred times better angular resolution than the last all-sky in this band, which was perforemd about 25 years ago. In the soft band the ROSITA survey will be more sensitive and have a substantially better energy and also angular resolution than the ROSAT all-sky survey. The telescope will consist of the seven 27-fold nested Wolter-1 mirror systems, the type already flown on ABRIXAS, and an ovel detector system currently being develoepd by MPE on the basis of the successful XMM pn-CCD technoloyg - a potential prototype for the planned ESA mission XEUS. Major improvements of the new camera are a higher time and energy resolution and significantly reduced ghost images. Within an industry study, recently completed, the general feasibility of such an astronomical survey telescope mounted on the ISS was established.
