Abstract: Pin-hole camera as a soft X-ray solar telescope is presented. The instrument is aimed on imaging of flares in the solar corona with angular resolution up to 40". It will allow to register temporal profiles of flares and determine spectra in soft X-ray. The telescope consist on pin hole 0.1 mm in diameter in tungsten disk, thin film Al/maylar filter and back illuminated CMOS based 2d detector. The telescope designed for 6 U cubesat. The instrument itself has dimension of about 0.5 U with extended tube from 20 to 50 cm length.

Keywords: Pin-hole camera, solar corona, soft X-ray, cubesat.
