This catalog, contained on one reel of 35 mm film, is intended to portray when the various ATM/Skylab experiments were in operation during spacecraft day (and presumably obtained data) and when solar activity was reported. This catalog is not a definitive guide to spacecraft operations (see data sets 73-027A-00E or 73-027A-00F, the ATM operations log) and concurrent solar activity, but it is intended to enable the users to decide whether to pursue data during a particular time period. The data are first presented on plots (bar charts) covering one terrestrial day (24 h) each. Time is plotted along the abscissa in hours (GMT), with the finest increment being 30 s. The dates are given in standard month-day-year form and in terms of day-of-year 1973, the form usually given in the ATM/Skylab data. Along the ordinate, operating times of the various experiments are shown first, followed by observations of solar activity (solar X-ray flares observed by SOLRAD satellites, followed in turn by hydrogen alpha flare reports, microwave radio bursts, low-frequency radio bursts, and finally observations of sudden ionospheric activity, which are indirect observations of solar X-ray or EUV flares). The same data are then listed in tabular form. This data set was generated at NSSDC from the ATM mission operations log and solar activity reports obtained from the World Data Center-A for solar activity, Boulder, CO.
