The instrumental features of the high resolution Telescope and spectrograph (HRTS) and the solar UV spectral irradiance monitor (SUSIM) used for solar observations on the Spacelab 1 mission are described. The HRTS has three focal plane instruments receiving light from a 30 cm aperture furnishing at 15 X 15 arcmin FOV which can be modified for slit photography and raster scans. The focal plane instruments are a spectrograph, spectroheliograph and a television camera and photographic film fronted by a mica Fabry-Perot filter. About 13 hr of solar observations were made with the HRTS during the 8 day mission. Sample spectral and photographic data are provided and discussed. SUSIM is an UV spectrometer with redundant optical paths for in-flight calibration with a D2 lamp. It is sensitive in the 1200-4000 A range. Several wavelength ranges are evaluated. Particular attention is given to multitemporal Ly-alpha recordings.
