title = "Toward large-area sub-arcsecond X-ray telescopes",
abstract = "The future of x-ray astronomy depends upon development of x-ray telescopes with larger aperture areas (≊ 3 m2) and fine angular resolution (≊ 1″). Combined with the special requirements of nested grazing-incidence optics, the mass and envelope constraints of space-borne telescopes render such advances technologically and programmatically challenging. Achieving this goal will require precision fabrication, alignment, mounting, and assembly of large areas (≊ 600 m2) of lightweight (≊ 1 kg/m2 areal density) high-quality mirrors at an acceptable cost (≊ 1 M$/m2 of mirror surface area). This paper reviews relevant technological and programmatic issues, as well as possible approaches for addressing these issues - including active (in-space adjustable) alignment and figure correction.",
