Zusammenfassung:	This review is devoted to the principles, state of the art, and problems of grazing-incidence optics for focusing soft X-ray radiation, which is used in telescopes at orbital stations. The possibilities of constructing light X-ray telescopes with a large effective data-collection area and good angular resolution, which are based on Kirkpatrick–Baez, Wolter, and “lobster eye” optics, are considered. Special attention is paid to the description of methods for optimizing the parameters for the production of X-ray optics and X-ray mirrors.
