Included on-board were imaging detectors built with substantial Leicester technical assistance (HRI, IPC). Einstein carried the first true imaging telescope for X-ray astronomy, enabling the detection of sources 100 times or more fainter than any previous X-ray astronomy instrument. 1978 Einstein Observatory launched (Nov. 13).
