The X-ray spectrographic telescopeThe S-054 X-ray telescope, which operated successfully throughout the eight-month Skylab mission, is a grazing incidence instrument with a spatial resolution of the order of 2 arc sec on axis. The total wavelength range observed by the instrument is 2 to 60 A. Crude spectral resolution within this range is achieved by means of a series of six X-ray filter materials. A spectrographic mode of operation, employing an objective grating, is used to obtain spectra of flare events and selected coronal features.
