Abstract

The Yohkoh spacecraft was launched on 30 August, 1991 by the Japanese Institute of Space and Astronautical Science. The instruments, which include hard and soft X-ray imaging telescopes, a Bragg spectrometer and wide band full sun spectrometers, (which cover the energy range 2 kev to 10 MeV), were described. Results obtained from these instruments were presented with special emphasis on data from the soft X-ray telescope which views the Sun in the 0.2 – 3 keV range with an angular resolution of 2.5 arc sec. Videos made from SXT datas were also presented at the meeting.
