Paper Abstract
The German X-ray telescope eROSITA will perform the first imaging all-sky survey in the medium energy range up to 10 keV with unprecedented spectral and angular resolution. The launch of eROSITA onboard of the Russian Spectrum- Röntgen-Gamma satellite into an orbit around the L-2 lagrangian point is foreseen in 2016. Even tough the L-2 space environment can be considered free of orbital debris, the presence of extraterrestrial meteoroids in the interplanetary space implies a certain hazard for the eROSITA pnCCDs, as experienced by both pn and MOS cameras onboard XMM-Newton. In this paper we address this question and investigate the response of the optical blocking filter to hypervelocity impacts.
