Abstract

The Skylab Earth Resources Experiment Package included a manually pointed spectrometer (S191), which provided reflective (0.4–2.5-μm) and thermal emissive (6–15-μm) spectra of areas 500 m in diameter on the earth below Skylab. The instrument is described, and the quality of data obtained in the Skylab mission is discussed in detail.
