The SPIRIT X-ray telescope/spectroheliometer successively operates on-board the Coronas-F satellite since August 15, 2001. The instrument includes two XUV-solar telesocpes - one is a four-band Ritchey-Chretien telescope (171, 195, 284 and 304 Å) with the optics analogous to the EIT SOHO telesocpe, another - a Herschel two-band (175 and 304 Å) telescope with off-axis paraboloids. The last one can operate as an XUV-coronagraph with "artificial moons" in the field up to 3 RSun. The spectroheliometer includes two Mg XII (8.42 Å) full-Sun imaging spectrometers, two XUV spectroheliometers with objective grazing incidence diffraction gratings, each has two selectable spectral bands 177-207 and 285-335 Å, and Bragg crystal Fe XXV (1.85-1.87 Å) imaging spectroheliometer. During the first year there were observed flares and highly variable active structures in hot 10 MK Mg XII images, solar XUV-corona, full-Sun XUV spectral images, solar XUV-corona, full-Sun XUV spectral images, first separated images of solar disk and corona in the He II and Si XI lines (303.78 and 303.32 Å).
