Lessons from the end of the ROSAT mission

26. October 2011

<img align="right" alt="" src="http://www.dlr.de/blogs/en/ResourceImage.aspx?raid=237669">The German ROSAT research satellite was launched on 1 June 1990 on a Delta II launcher and successfully scanned space for X-ray sources for nine years. Its record of achievements extends from discovering countless X-ray sources to analysing galactic clusters, X-ray binary stars and black holes to discovering the reflection of the Sun's X-ray radiation by the Moon.
