ASCA, the fourth Japanese X-ray astronomy satellite, was launched by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) on 1993 February 20. ASCA is designed to be a high-capability X-ray observatory (Tanaka et al. 1994). It is equipped with nested thin-foil mirrors which provide a large effective area over a wide energy range from 0.5 to 10 keV. Two different types of detectors, CCD cameras (SIS) and imaging gas scintillation proportional counters (GIS) are employed as the focal plane instruments.
