Abstract
The Berkeley spectrometer aboard the ORFEUS payload achieved a variety of 'firsts' during its inaugural mission in September 1993. The instrument utilizes spherical gratings with mechanically ruled varied line-spacing, and curved microchannel plate detectors with delay- line anode readout systems, to cover the 390 - 1200 angstrom band at a resolution of lambda/5000. The instrument is discussed, and its performance illustrated with calibration and in-flight spectra. Science highlights from the ORFEUS-I mission are presented (oral presentation only). The payload is available for use by guest investigators during the ORFEUS-II mission currently scheduled for late 1996.
