Back-up film magazine assembly for the S-054 X-ray spectrograph experiment intended for use on a planned second Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM). The ATM was the major scientific instrument aboard Skylab, which was put into Earth orbit in May 1973 and operated for 8 months. ATM included eight major scientific instruments, as well as a number of smaller experiments, and was designed to be operated by three sets of visiting astronauts. The magazine was transferred from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in 1986.
