Observations in the FUV and soft X-ray bands suggest that the interstellar medium contains several components of high-temperature gas and should be emitting in the EUV. Indeed, diffuse radiation has been detected in the EUV with photometric instruments, but no special measurements exist below 520 A. A unique grazing-incidence spectrometer has been designed to study the diffuse emission between 80 and 650 A with 10 to 20-A resolution. The instrument was launched on a Black Brant sounding rocket from White Sands Missile Range on April 22, 1986. Preliminary analysis shows the expected geocoronal and interplanetary He I 584-A emission, and possibly other features which may originate in the hot ionized interstellar gas. Flux limits to these possible emission lines are compatible with previous broadband measurements.
