The core optical components of the Einstein Probe satellite have launched to demonstrate the technology

Recently, developed by the Night-Vision Group of China North Industries Group Corporation Limited (NORINCO GROUP) with lobster eyes X-ray micro hole probe satellite wide field optical device as Einstein lobster eye X-ray telescope to identify a core device, along with the space satellite launch orbit and all the new technology test to carry out the wide field of soft X-ray focusing imaging on-orbit preliminary validation. Einstein Probe satellite is a space exploration satellite. The Lobster eye X-ray telescope with wide field of view can effectively realize uniform and large field of view focusing imaging in soft X-ray band, and carry out high-sensitivity real-time dynamic sky survey monitoring of cosmic bodies. The identification device contained 36 pieces of lobster eye X-ray microaperture optics. In 2022, the group successfully completed the delivery of 456 pieces of lobster eye X-ray microhole optical devices, which will be launched with the Einstein probe satellite in the future and provide strong support for the revolutionary step of time-domain astronomy with large field of view in China.
