Abstract

The Joint European X-Ray Telescope, JET-X, is one of the core instruments of the scientific payload of the USSR SPECTRUM-X astrophysics mission due for launch in 1993. The JET-X instrument is described and its scientific performance and capability discussed particularly in the context of spectroscopy of the iron-line complex at 7keV.
