Performance and design of the ultraviolet spectrometer and polarimeter on the solar maximum missionThe instrument observes spectral line intensity, Doppler motions, and polarization parameters. First Dopplergrams of the sun showing mass motion of prominences have been obtained. The instrument consists of a telescope, a spectrometer, a polarimeter, and five detectors. Spectral range extends from 1150 to 3600 Angstroms. The telescope is an alphanatic Gregorian capable of scanning a 256 x 256 arcsecond raster. The spectrometer is an Ebert-Fastie mount with exchangeable slits for intensity measurements and spectroscopy. Detectors are photomultipliers operating in the pulse-counting mode.
