The EUVST spectrograph (EUV High-throughput Spectroscopic Telescope) onboard the upcoming Solar-C spacecraft, scheduled for launch in the late 2020s, will simultaneously observe a wide temperature range: from the 10,000-Kelvin chromosphere to the million-Kelvin corona, and even to 10 million-Kelvin solar flares, allowing the continuous tracking of material and energy transport. The spectrograph consists of several long wavelength detectors (NASA/NRL) and one short wavelength detector (ESA/MSSL). This talk will cover spectroscopic observations from Hinode/EIS, the expected observations possible from Solar-C/EUVST, and the design and challenges of building the short wavelength camera.
