Multi‐Spectral Solar Telescope Array VIII: the second flight
(1995-06-20) Walker, Arthur B.C. II; Allen, Maxwell; DeForest, Craig; Kankelborg, Charles; Martinez-Galarce, Dennis S.; Plummer, James E.; Hoover, Richard B.; Barbee, Troy W. Jr.; Gore, David B.
The Multi Spectral Solar Telescope Array (MSSTA) is a rocket borne observatory that utilizes an array of multi-layer and interference film coated telescopes to observe the solar atmosphere from the chromosphere to the corona, over a broad spectral range (VUV - soft x rays). The MSSTA is continuously evolved to incorporate new instruments, and to improve its ability to investigate specific topics related to the structure and dynamics of the solar atmosphere. We describe chromospheric and coronal observations recorded during the second flight of the MSSTA on November 3, 1994 at 1915 UT.
Performance of the multilayer‐coated mirrors for the MultiSpectral Solar Telescope Array
(1994-02-01) Allen, Maxwell; Willis, Thomas D.; Kankelborg, Charles; O'Neal, Ray H.; Martinez-Galarce, Dennis S.; DeForest, Craig; Jackson, Lisa R.; Plummer, James D.; Walker, Arthur B.C. II; Barbee, Troy W. Jr.; Weed, J.W.; Hoover, Richard B.
The Multi-Spectral Solar Telescope Array, a rocket-borne solar observatory, was successfully flown in May, 1991, obtaining solar images in eight XUV and FUV bands with 12 compact multilayer telescopes. We report on recent measurements of the performance of multilayer coated mirrors for the Multi Spectral Solar Telescope Array, carried out at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory.
