At this height the spectroscope, mounted in the nose of the rocket, was automatically pointed at the center of the sun and observed the ultraviolet radiation above the layers of air that normally form that part of the solar spectrum...
...spectrometer's second mode-of operation was not tested during the Sept. 6 flight. In this mode the 40 lb. gold-plated box that holds the electronic equipment will scan up-and-down and across the solar disc in order to pick up an entire image of the sun at these short wave-lengths. Scientists expect that these ultraviolet "pictures" of the sun will help them better understand chromospheric solar flares...

The Vela-Hotel instrument package is expected to detect soft X rays from a one megaton explosion 200 million miles away from the earth and distinguish them from X rays from solar flares and other natural sources. Some instruments are also sensitive to gamma rays and neutrons...
