Scientific paper

A self-compensating, all reflection interferometric (SCARI) spectrometer was developed that can provide high resolution measurements of spectral features at any wavelength. Several mechanical components were developed that aid the instrument's performance at the short wavelength range. Examples include an optical bench and modular removable precision mechanisms for alignment. Upon alignment and lock down of the interferometer with the latter, the device is removed to minimize weight. A ray-trace code was developed to simulate the instrument's performance. Interference patterns were obtained at the shortest wavelength: the hydrogen Lyman alpha (1216 A). A laboratory instrument was developed that will be flown aboard a Black Brant sounding rocket to study the very local interstellar medium.
