Abstract
Intensity calibrated grazing incidence spectrographs have been flown on three Skylark sounding rockets to record the solar soft X-ray and XUV spectra over a wide wavelength range. This paper describes the instrumentation and calibration procedures, and presents wavelength and intensity data, for each of the flights.
