The prime objective of the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) is to obtain intensity ratios of selected extreme-ultraviolet line pairs, with spatial and temporal scales appropriate to the fine-scale features of the solar atmosphere. This will be done simultaneously across a large portion of the solar atmosphere. From this, density and temperature information will be derived which coupled with a modest capability for the detection of flows will be used to study the energy and mass balance of the atmosphere. Understanding the heating of the solar corona and the acceleration of the solar wind are the ultimate goals of this research.
