Abstract
One of the scientific experiments onboard Aryabhata was designed to detect and measure celestial X-rays in the energy range 2.5-155.0 keV. The payload systems comprising proportional counter and scintillation counter, telescopes were intended for observations in the pointed and scan modes respectively for investigating the emission properties of celestial X-ray sources. The paper presents the details of these telescopes, their inflight performance as well as the nature of the data obtained during the first few orbits.
