The Multi-Spectral Solar Telescope Array (MSSTA) was a sounding rocket payload built by Professor Arthur B. C. Walker Jr. at Stanford University in the 1990s to test EUV/XUV imaging of the Sun using normal incidence EUV-reflective multilayer optics. [1]

We present the results of the mission and report on the status of the image calibration, as well as early analysis of active region loops using MSSTA data. The Multi-Spectral Solar Telescope Array was launched on April 30th, 2002 on a Terrier-boosted Black Brant at White Sands Missile Range.

The Multi-Spectral Solar Telescope Array (MSSTA), which is a sounding-rocket-borne observatory for investigating the sun in the soft X-ray/EUV and FUV regimes of the electromagnetic spectrum, utilizes single reflection multilayer coated Herschelian telescopes for wavelengths below 100 A, and five doubly reflecting multilayer coated Ritchey ...

Array (MSSTA)' is a rocket-borne observatory designed to obtain ultra-high resolution images of the Sun at selected soft x-ray (44.1-93.9 A), Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) [150-335 .
