Description: The X-ray optical detection system flown on Aerobee 17.08 is described in detail, and the preliminary results of the 24 June 1971 flight are discussed. The optical design, fabrication and parabolic nature of the mirrors, effective aperture of mirror array, and X-ray detectors are considered. Preliminary analysis of data from the flight confirms the extended nature and complex structure of the X-ray source in Virgo. A core of X-ray emission is indicated which is approximately 0.5 deg in diameter and surrounded by an emitting region at least 2 deg across. The Virgo source spectrum is observed to have few low energy photons.
