[en] The SOLAR/SOLSPEC space-based instrument has measured the solar spectral irradiance from 165 to 3000nm at 0.6 to 9.5nm spectral resolution during the almost nine years of the SO- LAR/ISS mission. The instrument was calibrated using the PTB standard blackbody developed for temperatures up to 3200K. The absolute accuracy, based on a detailed analysis of error sources, indicates a mean absolute uncertainty of 1.26% of the total solar irradiance in the 165-3000nm range. Using SOLAR/SOLSPEC data, a new solar spectrum (SOLAR-ISS) covering the 165-3000nm wavelength range is built with added high spectral resolution. This SOLAR-ISS spectrum is developed by combining high spectral resolution from reference solar spectra with the resulting SOLAR/SOLSPEC spectrum through the knowledge of the slit functions of the SOLAR/SOLSPEC instrument. <P />(1 data file). <P />
