Title:		EXPERIENCE OF WROCLAW TEAM IN CONSTRUCTION OF SOLAR X-RAY INSTRUMENTS
Authors:		J. Sylwester
Abstract:		For 30 years now, experimental investigations of solar short-wavelength radiation have been undertaken by a group of several people (see the Acknowledgements) working at Solar Physics Division (Space Research Centre of Polish Academy of Sciences). On four sounding rockets, the CORONAS I satellite and the INTERBALL-Tail Probe the active corona imagers and Bragg, scanning, flat crystal spectrometers have been flown. At present, the two, new design, flat and bent crystal spectrometers (Diogeness and RESIK) are awaiting for launch aboard the Coronas-F Mission led by Professor V.N. Oraevsky (IZMIRAN) Russia. The bent Crystal spectrometer has been constructed by a consortium including MSSL and RAL from UK, NRL from USA and by our Lab. (acting as PI). In the paper we will describe few important developments, we have introduced to the construction of the spectrometers and imagers, and some interesting results, mostly focusing on those yet unpublished.
