New instrumentation for space astronomy

These papers deal with the design and operation of present and planned high-energy instrumentation for space astronomy. The major subject areas encompass UV instrumentation and related techniques, X-ray instrumentation and related techniques, miscellaneous instrumentation, imaging, spectroscopy, and nonimaging instruments. Specific topics include a deep photographic survey from Spacelab, an integrated UV/X-ray astronomy facility for Spacelab, a far-UV camera, the space telescope, the faint-object camera, techniques for UV astrophysical studies from space vehicles, and the faint-object telescope. Other papers discuss HEAO-A and -B, the development of a gas scintillation proportional counter for the first Spacelab mission, solar X-ray spectroscopy with a bent crystal spectrometer, solar X-ray imaging techniques, imaging soft and hard X-ray telescopes, X-ray imaging scintillation detectors, and a hard X-ray camera for the study of gamma-ray burst sources.
