Skylab/ER15'P 14onthly Report for the ;nonth of May, 1973
Project // SR397 Contract // NAS 9-13301
Activities during the month of May, 1973, were concerned with
continuation of prelaunch preparation and the preparation of equipment
for field support activities of the subject investigation. The delay
in the launch of the Skylab permitted more thorough equipment preparation
during this reporting period.
(A) Overall Status
The field ape ct ro radiometer system that is to support i.hc S-191
experiment has been installed in the instrument van. An electronic
control module has been designed, constructed, and installed into the
instrument van. This module enables format control of the spectroradiometer
si[nals as they are recorded on magnetic tape. The supporting software
system (Exosys) is undergoing debugging and should be ready for reduction
of the data by late June or early July. The mobile aerial tower used to
oupport the field snectroradiometer has been overhauled and been placed
.n service. The delay in the launch has forced a change in plans so that
the SL-2 Mission will take place over the Monroe Reservoir test site
rather than over the Ribeyre Island test site as originally planned. These
delays along ^,rith the early troubles of the Spacecraft following launch
elimated any data taking activities during this monthly reporting period.
However, the field support system is ready for data acquisition at the
time of the first opportunity for an EREP data) pass.
(B) Scientific Recommendations
Ro recommenda_tions are being made during this reporting period since
no data was taken by the space station as originally planned.
(C) Expected Accomplishments During, the Next Reportinr? Period
-ne field soectroradiometer system will be deployed on the 14onroe
Reservoir test site in the event that an EREP data pass is scheduled
during; June, 1973. Arrangements will be complete with the Monroe
Reservoir authorities in order to establish appropriate field test sites.
Arrangeme,its with supporting aircraft will be made to permit close time
proxinu.ty of the aircraft flights to that of the EREP overpass. The
Exosys Software System should be ready for data reduction by the end-of
the next reporting period.
(D) Rcsults
No significant results are reported since the space station did not
take any data during this reporting period.

Monthly Report
May, 1973
(L) Travel Summary and Plans
Travel to both the Ribeyre Island and Monroe Reservoir test sites
w-as made during the month of May. It was necessary to visit both
test sites since the delay in the launch and subsequent troubles made it
difficult to predict over which test site the data would be taken during
the early part of the month. Setup points in the tsst site areas were
analyzed during the travel periods for accessability and technical
quality. Photographic documentations of each possible setup point w ^s
completed.
