Scientific paper

The scientific purpose, coronal observations, and the instrument design and control of the Coronagraph/Polarimeter aboard the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite are discussed. The instruments were made with an optical design using an achromatic objective lens providing a 10 arcsec resolution in imaging and an SEC vidicon detector allowing integration on the low light levels of the corona. The computer control assures flexibility in the observing program to optimize observations of changing solar phenomena and allows rapid response to SMM or ground-commanded solar flare alerts.
