High Resolution Channel VR2:

    Two paraboloids, 1024x1152 CCD matrix, spectrum bands: 175Å and 304Å with angular resolution up to 1".8/cell, view angle 30' x 30' and exposition time 0.04 - 100 sec.

Wide Angle Channel SP:

    A Ritchey-Chretien lense, 1024x1152 CCD matrix, spectrum band: 304Å with angular resolution 8"/cell, view angle 2° x 2° (up to 3 RO).
