The CRLS-229 Solar X-ray Spectrometer/Spectroheliograph was launched in the solar pointed section of the United States Air Force Space Test Program P78-1 satellite on 24 February 1979. The SOLEX collimated Bragg crystal spectrometer experiment and the MONEX solar X-ray monitor experiment were built by The Aerospace Corporation, and the Naval Research Laboratory supplied the SOLFLEX uncollimated solar flare crystal spectrometer and the MAGMAP magnesium mapping experiment. The SOLEX A spectrometer has a 20 arc sec multigrid collimator, an ADP or RAP crystal, and proportional counter detector with a 25 micrometers thick beryllium window. The SOLEX B spectrometer has a 60 arc sec collimator, an ADP or RAP crystal, and a channel electron multiplier array detector. The SOLEX crystals and detectors can be driven so that either spectrometer exposes RAP to the collimated solar X-rays while the other exposes ADP. The spacecraft pointing system can raster the SOLEX collimator over the whole sum or a 5 x 5 arc minute region to build up a monochromatic image, or it can point the instrument anywhere on the sun so that spectra in the 3-25 angstroms range are obtained.
