We have developed compact soft x-ray/EUV (XUV) and farultraviolet (FUV) multilayer coated telescopes for the study of the solar chromosphere corona, and corona/solar wind interface. Because they operate at short wavelengths (~40 < ? < 1550 A), the modest apertures of 40 to 127 mm allow observations at very high angular resolution (0.1 to 0.7 arcsec). In addition to permitting traditional normal incidence optical configurations such as Cassegrain, Ritchey-Chretien, and Herschelian to be used at XUV wavelengths, multilayer coatings also allow a narrow wavelength band (?/?? ~30 to 100) to be selected for imaging. The resuIting telescopes provide a very powerful and flexible diagnostic instrument for the study of both the fine scale structure of the chromosphere/ corona interface and the large scale structure of the corona and corona/ solar wind interface. In previous papers we described a new solar rocket payload, the Multi-Spectral Solar Telescope Array (MSSTA), composed of 17 of these compact telescopes. In this paper we report on the performance of the seven MSSTA Ritchey-Chretien telescopes.
