Abstract

See full text

A space-based x-ray imaging system comprising a spacecraft frame, a shutter apparatus, and a detector. The frame comprises: radiation shielding for shielding an inner cavity from solar radiation; and an input window opening on a section of the radiation shielding to enable passage of the solar radiation into the inner cavity. The shutter apparatus is near the input window and configured to be selectively opened and closed, to selectively enable and prevent passage of the solar radiation into the inner cavity via the input window. The detector is in the inner cavity and aligned with the input window, such that the detector is impinged by the solar radiation passing through the input window, such that an x-ray flux from the solar radiation is usable for x-ray imaging of a target located between the detector and the input window.
