The complexity of the Skylab Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) experiment operations necessitated the use of high fidelity simulations of the onboard visual displays and pointing system for crew training. The displays which were simulated included the H-alpha displays, XUV monitor display, XUV/slit/white light display, x-ray image display, and the white light coronagraph display. The pointing simulation was achieved by projecting film sequences which were subsequently viewed by TV cameras. An optical system in front of the vidicons simulated the pointing, roll, and zoom capabilities of the ATM and sensing systems. The simulation enabled the Skylab crewmen to obtain valuable integrated training combining such tasks as target recognition and status assessment, complex and the time dependent pointing operations, malfunction analyses, and rapid responses to flare and other transient events.
天空实验室阿波罗望远镜支架（ATM）实验操作的复杂性使得有必要使用高保真模拟机载视觉显示器和指向系统来进行机组人员培训。模拟的显示器包括H-α显示器、极紫外监测器显示器、极紫外/狭缝/白光显示器、X射线图像显示器和白光日冕仪显示器。指向模拟是通过投影胶片序列来实现的，随后由电视摄像机观看这些序列。光导摄像管前的光学系统模拟了ATM和传感系统的指向、滚动和变焦功能。该模拟使天空实验室的机组人员能够获得有价值的综合培训，这些培训结合了目标识别和状态评估、复杂且随时间变化的指向操作、故障分析以及对耀斑和其他瞬变事件的快速响应等任务。
