Results of a sounding rocket program designed to measure the total solar ultraviolet input to the upper atmosphere are presented. Two spectrometers, a far-ultraviolet (FUV) to cover 1160-1850 A, and a middle ultraviolet (MUV) to cover 1600-3184 A, were launched piggy-back on a Black Brant rocket to an altitude of 325 km on 7-15-1980. Tables of the detailed error budgets of the reclaimed instruments are provided. Comparisons are made with results of a 1979 flight, and of 1979 and 1980 flights with solar minimum results of Rottman (1981), and reveal significant solar spectral irradiance variability from solar minimum to maximum. MUV readings below 2100 A were 14% higher in 1980 and 14% lower in 1979 than Rottman's data, and it is concluded that a significant variability occurred at wavelengths less than 1800 A.
