Status: Operated until April 1986

This X-Ray observatory launched by the European Space Agency was one of the first missions to carry an onboard computer, allowing unprecedented data processing and program handling from Earth. In the three year lifespan of EXOSAT, it made 1780 X-Ray observations while flying on an elliptical orbit. Read a summary of the mission here.

Filter types: Meshed Aluminum
Launch date: October 23, 1987
Status: Successful flight on the above date

This experimental flight successfully used Luxel filters to image numerous solar phenomena in the soft x-ray and EUV range. A paper summarizing the results of this rocket flight can be found here.

Filter type: Lexan with Carbon, Tin, Beryllium, and Aluminum
Launch date: June 1, 1990
Status: Operated until February 12, 1999

A Germany/US/UK collaboration that in part conducted an all-sky survey in the soft X-Ray band, ROSAT (short for Röntgensatellit which is German for X-Ray satellite) imaged more than 150,000 objects. More information about the mission here.
