We are developing a field-widened Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer (SHS) for suborbital observations of the hot component of the diffuse interstellar medium. Our goal for these observations is to obtain the first velocity-resolved (20 km/s) line profiles of the CIV 154.8 nm emission line from the Cygnus loop and from one direction at high galactic latitude. Long term, our interest is to develop an SHS instrument for a radial-velocity-resolved sky survey of the 10(superscript 5) K 'coronal gas' component of the interstellar medium using a small satellite. We describe the basic SHS technique along with vacuum ultraviolet demonstrations using our prototype interferometer. We also describe a new data reduction technique which corrects for instrumental distortions resulting from optical defects.
