X-ray astronomy satellites are specialized spacecraft designed to observe astronomical objects in the X-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. These satellites play a crucial role in studying high-energy phenomena in the universe, such as black holes, neutron stars, supernova remnants, and cosmic microwave background radiation. Because Earth's atmosphere absorbs X-rays, ground-based observation of these wavelengths is not possible. Therefore, X-ray astronomy satellites are launched into space to detect and analyze X-ray emissions from various celestial sources.
