Description:
The Harvard College Observatory photoelectric spectroheliometer on the Apollo Telescope Mount operated correctly in orbit from May 29, 1973 to February 7, 1974. During this period, many thousands of spatial and spectral scans at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths were recorded during observations of a variety of solar features. The construction and modes of operation of the instrument are outlined, and the principal scientific results from a preliminary analysis of the data are described.
