High-resolution X-ray and EUV images of the solar corona have been obtained with two rocket-borne normal incidence Cassegrain multilayer telescopes. The Cassegrain images correspond to material at about 10 to the 6th K and about 80,000 K. Other images, at somewhat lower resolution, were obtained with Herschelian multilayer telescopes and Wolter-Schwarzschild hybrid grazing incidence/multilayer optical systems. The Cassegrain and Herschelian images are discussed emphasizing the analysis of polar plumes observed at the limb of the sun. The application of specific multilayer techniques to astronomical observations is discussed, emphasizing observations of the sun. Current efforts to develop a comprehensive Multi-Spectral Solar Telescope Array rocket instrument for the study of a wide variety of problems related to the solar atmosphere are reported.
