SPARTAN 201 Observations of the Ultraviolet Extended Solar Corona
Abstract
The instruments on the Spartan 201 spacecraft are an Ultraviolet Coronal Spectrometer and a White Light Coronagraph. Spatan 201 observed the extended solar corona for about 40 hours. Four coronal targets were observed, a helmet streamer at heliographic position angle 135°, the north and south polar coronal holes, and an active region above the west limb. Measurements of the H I Lyα geocorona and the solar irradiance were also made.
