eROSITA (extended Roentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) is the primary instrument on the

Russian Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission, scheduled for launch in 2013. eROSITA consists of Effective area on axis 15´Background off-axis 30´off-axis seven Wolter-I telescope modules, each of which is equipped with 54 mirror shells with an outer diameter
