We are developing a new sounding rocket payload, the Advanced Technology Solar Spectroscopic Imager (ATSSI), that will use an 8 X 8 array of transition edge sensors (TES) to obtain true spectroheliograms in a spectral bandpass spanning approximately 50 eV to approximately 3 keV. The TES array will be flown at the focus of a Wolter I telescope, where it will image as 3 arc-min by 3 arc-min field of view with a pixel resolution of approximately 6 arc-sec. In this way, it will obtain approximately 1000 individual spectra with an expected average energy resolution of approximately 3 eV FWHM. In addition to the TES array, the ATSSI will employ six multilayer telescopes with bandpasses centered on atomic lines at 17.1 angstrom (Fe XVII), 195.1 angstrom (Fe XII), 171.1 angstrom (Fe IX), 57.9 angstrom (Mg X), 98.3 angstrom (Ne VIII), and 150.1 angstrom (O VI). Two additional telescopes with bandpasses centered at 1550 angstrom (C IV) and 1216 angstrom (H I) will also be used. The eight narrowband telescopes will provide high spatial resolution (
