successfully launched on Sept. 30, 1997 from LC-36 at the White Sands
Missile Range. The instrument consists of 30cm Cassegrain telescope
and a three element focal plane package. The central focal plane
instrument was a tandem Wadsworth spectrograph with wavelength
coverage in two bands (120-140nm and 150-170nm) with a resolution of
50mAngstroms. The reflective spectrograph slit jaws are imaged with an
intermediate bandpass UV spectroheliograph and with a visible Halpha
imaging slit jaw imaging system. As on the previous flight, four
(20Angstrom FWHM) filters were used in the spectroheliograph to obtain
images with central wavelengths at 1540, 1550, 1560 and 1600
Angstroms. The spectra and images are recorded on photographic
film. The instrument was successfully pointed and focussed in
flight. 1 arc-second spatial resolution was achieved in all the
images.

The observation target for the mission was the coronal hole at the
solar north pole. During the prime mission, the 900" long slit
was moved over the surface of the sun to obtain a 10" wide
raster with 2" steps. The slit was positioned nearly radially
with 100" above the northern limb of the sun. A wide range of
exposures were taken to observe a wide variety of bright and
faint lines. A series of spectroheliograph and Halpha images
were taken of the spectrograph slit jaws to reference the slit
location. Final image coregistration will be accomplished using
slit jaw, Tmin continuum images and Kitt Peak/MDI
magnetograms. An excellent collaborative data set was obtained
at Kitt Peak Observatory (chromospheric and photospheric
magnetograms), Big Bear Solar Observatory and University of
Hawaii. The space based collaborative observing campaign
included SXT (YOHKOH), MDI (SOHO), EIT (SOHO), CDS (SOHO) and
SUMER (SOHO). The slit spectra show an interesting collection
of explosive even ts in C IV. The spectroheliograph images show
C IV loop like structures near the limb.

The flight also was the first scientific flight of the new digital
attitude control system produced by the Lockheed Martin SPARCS group
at the White Sands Missile Range. The system utilizes fast,
programmable digital control of the payload. The previous problem of
ground loop noise on the shielded sensor lines was entirely eliminated
by the incorporation of a fiber optic sensor data line. The
performance of this new system was superb. Acquisition occurred within
30 seconds of opening the aperture door. The noise on the sensor
output lines was 0.05 arc-seconds. The stability over the entire
flight was 1.5 arc-seconds peak to peak. The stability of the pointing
over a typical 10 second exposure was 0.2 arc-seconds peak to peak and
<0.1 arc-seconds peak to peak for a typical 1 second exposure. This
pointing stability in future flights will enable very high spatial
resolution solar images to be obtained from a sounding rocket
platform.
