The technology in EIT is based on prototype instruments that were flown on the sounding rocket payloads MSSTA and NIXT. The first multilayer telescope to image the full disk of the Sun in EUV was flown by A.B.C. Walker and team in 1987 . The TRACE and STEREO spacecraft (launched into LEO in 1998 and 2006, respectively) carry similar multilayer imagers, as does the Solar Dynamics Observatory mission.
