The future space X-ray astronomy imaging missions require very large collecting areas at fine angular resolution and reasonable weight. The new substrates for X-ray mirrors such as silicon wafers and thin thermally formed glass enable wide applications of precise and very light weight (volume densities 2.3 to 2.5 g cm-3) optics. Here we describe the recent status of the Czech participation in the IXO space mission with emphasis on the development of new technologies and test samples of X-ray mirrors with precise surfaces, based on new materials, and their applications in space.
