The role of the background in past and future X-ray missions

Abstract

Background has played an important role in X-ray missions, limiting the exploitation of science data in several and sometimes unexpected ways. In this presentation I review past X-ray missions focusing on some important lessons we can learn from them. I then go on discussing prospects for overcoming background related limitations in future ones.
