NIXT and its sister rocket, the [[MSSTA]], were the prototypes for all normal-incidence EUV imaging instruments in use today, including [[Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope|SOHO/EIT]], [[TRACE]], and [[STEREO|STEREO/SECCHI]].
In 1989, a NIXT sounding rocket launch detected soft X-Rays coming from a [[Solar flare]].<ref>{{Cite journal|url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1991ApJ...376..797H|title=1991ApJ...376..797H Page 797|journal=The Astrophysical Journal|bibcode=1991ApJ...376..797H|access-date=2018-07-10|last1=Herant |first1=M. |last2=Pardo |first2=F. |last3=Spiller |first3=E. |last4=Golub |first4=L. |year=1991 |volume=376 |page=797 |doi=10.1086/170328 |doi-access=free }}</ref> It was launched when the solar event was detected to allow high resolution imaging of the Sun's [[solar corona|corona]].<ref>{{Cite journal|url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1991ApJ...376..797H|title=1991ApJ...376..797H Page 797|journal=The Astrophysical Journal|bibcode=1991ApJ...376..797H|access-date=2018-07-10|last1=Herant |first1=M. |last2=Pardo |first2=F. |last3=Spiller |first3=E. |last4=Golub |first4=L. |year=1991 |volume=376 |page=797 |doi=10.1086/170328 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Results from the observations were presented in 1990 in different papers.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1991ApJ...376..797H|title=1991ApJ...376..797H Page 797|journal=The Astrophysical Journal|bibcode=1991ApJ...376..797H|access-date=2018-07-10|last1=Herant |first1=M. |last2=Pardo |first2=F. |last3=Spiller |first3=E. |last4=Golub |first4=L. |year=1991 |volume=376 |page=797 |doi=10.1086/170328 |doi-access=free }}</ref> NIXT was launched throughout the early 1990s and a paper summarizing the results from these mission was published in 1996.<ref>{{Cite document|url=https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19970008135.pdf|title = A Normal Incidence X-ray Telescope (NIXT) Sounding Rocket Payload|date = September 1996|last1 = Golub|first1 = Leon}}</ref>
