The Apollo Telescope Mount on Skylab
Abstract
The Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) containing eight telescopes that cover wavelengths ranging from 2 to 6563 A is described. These are a white light coronograph, an XUV coronal spectroheliograph, and XUV spectrograph, an X-ray spectrographic telescope, a UV scanning polychromator/spectroheliometer, an X-ray telescope, and two H-alpha telescopes. The purpose, performance, and characteristic features of each of these instruments are discussed. The extremely high quality of the transmitted data is noted, and solar photographs are presented.
