The Advanced Technology Solar Spectroscopic Imager (ATSSI) sounding rocket payload will employ a quantum microcalorimeter detector placed at the focus of a Wolter I telescope to study energy release in the active solar corona. Over its nominal 300 second observing period, the ATSSI will record ~120 spectra with its 2x2 array of detectors. These spectra span the range of 6-25 Å with spectral resolution of ~650, spatial resolution of ~5 arcsec, and time cadence of ~10 seconds. The ATSSI will record high signal-to-noise measurements of the intensity of ~12 emission lines formed from 1-10 MK, including the temperature and density-sensitive lines of Fe XVII in the 15-17 Å region. The ATSSI's unique capabilities will provide powerful constraints on the parameters of the coronal heating mechanism.
