Abstract

The capabilities of space instrumentation are in a continuous state of evolution with the improvement of new techniques such as the metallic multilayer coatings in the Extreme UltraViolet. After a brief review of a few of the new techniques that will provide improved detectors, a survey of current instrumentation is given (Yohkoh, HRTS, MSSA, NIXT). Several missions are in preparation (SOHO, CORONAS); a description of the payload capabilities of these is furnished. Finally, we speculate on the outlook for the new, improved instruments on future missions.
