  • SKYLAB: a PROGRESS REPORT Abstract. the Skylab Apollo
    SKYLAB: A PROGRESS REPORT R. M. MacQUEEN High Altitude Observatory, National Center for Atmospheric Research*, Boulder, Colo., U.S.A. (Presented by G. Newkirk) Abstract. The Skylab Apollo Telescope. Mount contains six principal instruments spanning the X-ray to visible wavelength range. These experiments include an exter­ nally occulted white light coronagraph from the High Altitude Observatory which observes the outer solar corona from 1.5 to 6.0 radii from Sun center, in broadband (3500-7000 A) white light with approximately 10" spatial resolution. An X-ray spectrographic telescope of the American Science and Engineering, Inc. employs six filters and an objective grating to observe a 48' field of view in the wavelength range 3.5-6.0 A, with approximately 3" spatial resolution. A scanning ultraviolet poly- chromator, spectroheliometer of the Harvard College Observatory is capable of observing 1.2 A spectral resolution from 300-1350 A with a 7 detector array. The field of view of the instrument is determined by its operational mode and ranges from 5' x 5' to 5" x 5". An X-ray telescope from the Marshall Space Flight Center employs five metal filters to observe the 5-33 A spectral region with 2.5" spatial resolution over the 40' field of view. The Naval Research Laboratory has supplied two instruments: the first, an XUV spectroheliograph, covers wavelength regions 150-335 A and 321-625 A, with somewhat better than 5" spatial resolution and a spectral resolution of 0.13 A (for a 10" feature). The second instrument, a slit spectrograph, covers the spectral range 970-3940 A in two bands, 970-1970 and 1940-3940, and has 0.5 and 0.1 A spectral resolution respectively, with a 2" x 60" slit.

Apollo 1, known at that time as AS (Apollo Saturn)-204 would be the first manned spaceflight of the Apollo program, and would launch a few months after the flight of Gemini 12, which had occurred on 11 November 1966. Although Gemini 12 was a short duration flight, Pilot Buzz Aldrin had performed three extensive EVA’s (Extra Vehicular Activities), proving that Astronauts could work for long periods of time outside the spacecraft.

Marshall Space Flight Center tional Aeronautics and Space Administration arshall Space Flight Center, Alabama Phone: 876-1102, 876 -1959 APOLLO TELESCOPE MOUNT \ -- Fact Sheet -- The Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) is being developed to give space scientists a look at the sun's activity unencumbered by the fogging effects of the earth's atmosphere. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration plans to launch the first of its manned solar observatories, ATM-A, in 1971. The space agency is joined by the scientific community and industry in developing the highly sophisticated satellite. Five principal investigators, all experts in astronomy and solar physics, have designed five experiments for the first ATM flight. The eight instruments used in these five ATM experiments will obtain measurements of the sun in the extreme ultreme ultraviolet and X-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum which cannot penetrate the earth's atmosphere and obtain pictures of the sun's corona in the white light portion of the spectrum. Dr. George E. Mueller, NASA Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight, has said the ATM "provides a new great capability for a variety of solar and stellar scientific experiments" to be performed above the atmosphere, where the sun and stars can be clearly observed without being obscured by the earth's AAP CLUSTER -- The Apollo Telescope Mount, shown at top, is one of the principal payloads in the first Apollo Applications flights. Other main elements are the Saturn I workshop, bottom, the airlock/multiple docking adapter and Apollo spacecraft. -2 - atmosphere. The first ATM, one of the early Apollo Applications missions, is a forerunner of more advanced manned solar and stellar observatories which will provide an increased data gathering capability for astronomers.

These lessons will be sent on a bi-weekly basis and allow grade-level focused learning. - AIAA STEM K-12 Committee. THE EARLY APOLLO PROGRAM Project Apollo was an American space project which landed people on the Moon and brought them safely back to Earth. Most people know about Apollo 1, in which three astronauts lost their lives in a fire during a countdown rehearsal, and about Apollo 8, which flew to the Moon, orbited around it, and returned to Earth. Just about everybody knows about Apollo 11, which first landed astronauts on the Moon. But what happened in between these missions? This lesson explores the lesser-known but still essential building blocks of the later missions’ success. Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): ● Discipline: Engineering Design ● Crosscutting Concept: Systems and System Models ● Science & Engineering Practice: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions GRADES K-2 K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. NASA engineers knew that Apollo astronauts would need special training to succeed in their missions to the moon, but how could they train under conditions similar to those the crew would encounter? One answer was to send them to places with barren areas and volcanic features that were like what they expected to find on the lunar surface. The astronauts received geology training as well as practicing maneuvers in their spacesuits and driving a replica of the GRADES K-2 (CONTINUED) lunar rover vehicle.
