Abstract
The TEREK-K telescope and the RES-K spectroheliometer aboard the KORON AS-I spacecraft were used to study the solar upper atmosphere by X-ray and XUV imaging spectroscopy in the 0.84-30.4 nm band. More than 2000 images of the Sun were taken between March 12 and July 5, 1994. New d ata on parameters of the solar plasma were obtained in the temperature range 10(5)-10(7) K and at heights from the transition zone to the up per corona. A description of the instruments and a summary of observin g sessions are given.
