Three series of high resolution ultra-violet pictures of the sun have been obtained during the three flights of rocket experiment T.R.C. Transition Region Camera) which took place on 3 July 1979, 23 September 1980 and 13 July 1982. These pictures reveal many structures in Ly alpha and ultraviolet continua at 160 nm and 220 nm. The scientific objectives, instrumentation, flight conditions and campaigns of simultaneous observations are described. The contribution of T.R.C. to solar physics is discussed in the framework of chromospheric multicomponent models, magnetic flux tubes, local heating and periodic structures in the chromosphere.
