Notes:
The hot carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen echelle spectrograph (HotCONes) sounding rocket payload allows a unique probe of the local interstellar medium through R=λ/δλ(approximately-greater-than)200 000 spectroscopy of C+3, N+4, and O+5. It is a practical proof of the low-order echelle spectrograph design, which may prove extremely useful in conjunction with emerging technology. We present the scientific motivation, instrument design, and measured performance. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
