Spectroheliographs: Space Instrumentation

Scientific paper

The authors describe a new rocket spectroheliograph instrument, the Multi-Spectral Solar Telescope Array (MSSTA), that is currently being prepared for launch in September 1989. This instrument will utilize true Ritchey-Chretien optics of 127 mm diameter and parabolic Herschelian optics of 40 mm diameter, which will allow spectroheliograms to be obtained over the soft X-ray/EUV/VUV spectral range (40 Å - 1550 Å). The performance of this new instrument should definitely demonstrate the unique combination of ultra-high spatial resolution and spectral differentiation which multilayer optics afford for astronomical observations. The MSSTA will also represent the first astronomical use of an important new optical device, the multilayer grating.
