The Spacelab 2 configuration will consist of a three-pallet train and will mark the first flight of the Igloo and Instrument Pointing System. The experiment, which consists of two identical X-ray telescopes will record images and spectra of extended X-ray sources which will be used to identify the sources and emission mechanisms. Spacelab 2 experiments will concentrate on solar physics, atmospheric physics, infra-red astronomy, high energy physics, life sciences and technology, Spacelab 2 is scheduled for launch in April 1985 aboard Challenger
