Abstract
The SODART telescope with two parallel 8 m focal length mirror systems and eight different focal plane instruments, four for one mirror system and fou r for the other one, is the largest instrument on board the SPECTRUM-RONTGE N-GAMMA satellite. Among the focal plane instruments are two identical posi tion sensitive detectors, KFRD, based on multiwire proportional counters. The energy band of the KFRD detector is 2-25 keV.
