Solar X-ray flux and correlation with H alpha image of sun from Aerobee rocket flight film
Description of the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM), a set of spaceborne X-ray, ultraviolet, and visible-light telescopes intended to implement the extensive series of solar observations representing one of the major tasks assigned to the three-man crews who will perform three (respectively 28-, 56-, and 56-day long) manned orbital flights in mid-1973, known collectively as the Skylab mission. The ATM capabilities, its principal scientific goals, and planned observing program are reviewed, along with the methods to be used for coordinating the observations with ground-based and other kinds of solar observations.

Soft X-ray photographs of the solar corona have been obtained on four flights of a rocket-borne grazing incidence telescope having a resolution of a few arc sec. The configuration of the X-ray emitting structures in the corona has been compared to the magnetic field distribution measured by photospheric longitudinal magnetograms. The X-ray structures trace the three-dimensional configuration of the magnetic field through the lower corona. Active regions in the corona take the form of tubular structures connecting regions of opposite magnetic polarity within the same or adjacent chromospheric active regions. Higher, larger structures link widely separated active regions into complexes of activity covering substantial fractions of the disk. The complexes are separated by areas of low average field in the photosphere. Interconnections across the solar equator appear to originate over areas of preceding polarity.
Two Aerobee 170 sounding rocket payloads were flown at the White Sands Missile Range: (1) a focusing X-ray collector on 31 March 1972; and (2) a high resolution telescope on 4 August 1972. Data has been reduced from each of these flights. In the first flight both the rocket and the experiment instrumentation performed adequately, and it is clear that at least the minimum scientific objectives were attained. In the second flight the attitude control system failed to point the telescope at the target for a sufficient length of time. However examination of final preflight checkout data and some flight data indicate that the instrumentation for this rocket payload was functioning according to expectations.
