摘要：

The Solar Maximum Mission experiment contingency will include one instrument originally designed and built for OSO-8. The engineering model of the OSO-8 high resolution spectrometer has been rebuilt to make it flightworthy and to encompass several new functions, including solar ultraviolet polarimetry. The rebuilt package is designated as the High Resolution Ultraviolet Spectrometer/Polarimeter. The device, that enables polarimetry, is a dual channel rotating waveplate system. The waveplates are magnesium fluoride and will allow measurements to be made ranging frrom the Lyman Alpha line to near visible ultraviolet. One waveplate channel will use the polarization characteristics of the spectrometer diffraction grating as the analyzer. The second channel has a built-in four-mirror polarizer. The polarimeter design, operation, and calibration are described.
