With a length of 10 m, a diameter of 2 m, and a focal length of 7.5 m it represents the largest X-Ray telescope so far . One of its tasks was to investigate the so-called black holes, the only remains of stars after they have died away.
After being commissioned by ESA and spending almost 400,000 manhours, Kayser-Threde and its subsidiary Media Lario developed, manufactured and tested the most important components of the telescope, namely the three mirror modules. The contract also covered verification of the modules after integration into the telescope.
The technical and logistical challenges the project posed were enormous.

In fast 400.000 Arbeitsstunden haben Kayser-Threde und die Tochterfirma Media Lario in direktem Auftrag der ESA die wichtigsten Bestandteile, nämlich die drei Teleskop- Spiegelmodule, entwickelt, hergestellt und nach Integration in das Teleskop auch verifiziert.
Die technischen und logistischen Herausforderungen des Projektes waren gigantisch.
