Scientific paper

The design and in-orbit function of the Yohkoh spacecraft and its four scientific instruments are described. The instruments include the Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT), the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT), the Wide-Band Spectrometer (WBS), and the Bragg Crystal Spectrometers (BCS). The key feature of the Yohkoh is the combined use of the coaligned telescopes (HRT and SXT) and spectrometers (WBS and BCS) operating simultaneously, thus constituting a spaceborne solar observatory. The SXT has already taken hundreds of thousands of excellent pictures of active regions and of flares, and the HXT has obtained data concerning more than 200 major flares.
