grazing-incidence telescope X-ray space telescope A telescope used in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy. It focuses these rays by making use of the fact that they behave like light rays if they strike surfaces at a shallow enough angle.

ROSAT grazing-incidence telescope ROentgen SATellite, was an X-ray observatory developed through a cooperative program between the Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The satellite was designed and operated by Germany, and was launched by the United States on June 1, 1990. It was turned off on February 12, 1999.
