Abstract: The SOLPEX complex consists of two instruments for recording soft X-ray radiation from the Sun and is a part of the KORTES equipment, which will be installed on board the International Space Station. The first instrument is a fast-rotating multi-crystalagg spectrometer designed to record solar spectra in the range of 0.4–23 $\mathring{\mathrm{A}}$ with a time resolution of no less than 0.1 s. The second instrument is a pinhole camera with a focal length of 58 cm. The camera has a field of viewof 2$^{\circ}$ $\times$ 2$^{\circ}$, angular resolution of 2 arcmin, and time resolution up to 0.2 s. The energy range is determined by the input filter and is 1–10 keV; the energy resolution is 0.5 keV. The combination of these two instruments makes it possible to locate hot solar sources in the corona, determine their speed, and conduct spectral diagnostics.
