TICHÝ, V., R. HUDEC, and V. ŠIMON. Lobster-Eye All-Sky Soft X-ray Monitors. In: XI Multifrequency Behaviour of High Energy Cosmic Sources Workshop. Palermo, 2015-05-25/2015-05-30.

The idea of a satellite providing monitoring of specified sky areas in soft X-rays is presented. Observation plan could include also e.g. searching for X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts.
The spacecraft could be of the nano-satellite class. Using of Schmidt lobster optics is proposed. Design study of the optics is presented. The results of experimental tests of the specimen of the optics indicate that the mission is feasible.
