Aims. We attempt to understand the driving mechanism of a macrospicule and its relationship with a coronal jet. Methods. We study the dynamics of a macrospicule and an associated coronal jet captured by multi-spacecraft observations. Doppler velocities in both the macrospicule and the coronal jet are determined by EIS and SUMER spectra. Their temporal evolution is studied using X-ray and He II λ304 images. Results. A blueshift of -120 ± 15 km s -1 is detected on one side of the macrospicule, while a redshift of 50 ± 6 km s -1 is found at the base of the other side. The inclination angle of the macrospicule inferred from a stereoscopic analysis with STEREO suggests that the measured Doppler velocities can be attributed to a rotating motion of the macrospicule rather than a radial flow or an expansion. Conclusions. The macrospicule is driven by the unfolding motion of a twisted magnetic flux rope, while the associated X-ray jet is a radial outflow.
