Jun. 06, 1984 - Kennedy Space Center, Fla.--Technicians install the last major experiment called the Hard X-Ray Imaging of Clusters of Galaxies and Other Extended X-Ray Sources, on a Space lab 2 pallet in the Operations and Checkout 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 omission mechanisms. Space lab 2 experiments will concentrate on solar physics, atmospheric physics, infrared astronomy, high energy physics, atmospheric physics, life sciences and technology. Space lab 2 is scheduled for launch in April 1985 aboard Challenger
