The final version of the Marshall Space Flight Center managed Skylab consisted of four primary parts. One component was the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) that housed the first marned scientific telescopes in space. This picture is a view of the ATM spar, which contained the scientific instruments, as the multiple docking adapter (MDA) canister end is lowered over it. The MDA served to link the major parts of Skylab together.
