After the loss of the meteroid shield required using the solar scientific airlock to erect the sun shade, methods were improvised to operate the S020 experiment on EVA's. Almost no data was obtained in the wavelength range 10 to 110 A. From 110 to 280 A the spectra were 10 to 100 time less intense than expected. A probable cause in loss of instrument sensitivity is the contamination of the filters by the spacecraft coolant. A list of observed lines in presented. Although less data was obtained than expected, several lines not previously observed were recorded; and the spectra serve to confirm many very faintly observed weak lines recorded from sounding rockets by other experiments.
