<strong>ESA</strong> has selected the Silicon Pore Optics as the<br />
basel<strong>in</strong>e mirror technology <strong>in</strong> its IXO development plan<br />
for 2008-2012 (req. HEW < 5 arcsec at 1.25 keV).<br />
2. Encourag<strong>in</strong>g results from Silicon Pore X-ray Optics:<br />
S<strong>in</strong>gle reflection HEW = 7 arcsec obta<strong>in</strong>ed from stack of 10<br />
plates (out of 45).<br />
CRYO-CHAIN:<br />
