A Fabry-Perot (FP) interference spectrometer for balloon-borne observations of the solar ultraviolet spectrum has been developed. The spectrometer consists of an FP and a diffraction grating which serves as a predispersing element. The FP is scanned by means of piezoelectric elements which themselves are the spacers of the FP mirrors. The wavelength range to be scanned is about 40 A, centered at 2800 A with a measured resolution of 0.14 A. In 1975, a balloon experiment using this spectrometer was carried out successfully. The observed solar ultraviolet spectrum is presented.
