Concept study of a UV coronagraph spectrometer for the pinhole-occulter facility

The results of a very short study to define an Ultraviolet Coronagraph-Spectrometer (UVCS) for the Pinhole/Occulter Facility (P/OF) are summarized. The P/OF instrument was based on docummentation from the Definition Phase of the Spacelab Coronographs Program which was effectively completed in August 1980. The primary differences between the P/OF instrument and the Spacelab experiment are the remote occulter mask, the telescope size , and the deployable structure to accommodate P/OF's length restrictions. Requirement for P/OF that are associated with these features are briefly considered, but further study is need to more fully consider the unusual implications, particularly in the interplay between the instrument pointing and the P/OF boom control.
