	Skylab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skylab was launched May 14, 1973 by a two-stage version of the Saturn V booster (the SL-1 mission).
		Skylab was actually the refitted S-IVB second stage of a Saturn IB booster (from the AS-212 vehicle), a leftover from the Apollo program originally intended for one of the canceled Apollo earth orbital missions.
		Increased solar activity, heating the outer layers of the earth's atmosphere and thereby increasing drag on Skylab, led to an early reentry at approximately 16:37 UTC July 11, 1979.

	Space Mission Patches - Skylab Index
		During the launch phase of the Skylab Orbital Workshop the meteoroid shield was torn off by aerodynamic loads, culminating in the loss of one of the two main solar arrays, and the jamming of the other.
		The Skylab 2 crew rescued the damaged Orbital Workshop by erecting a giant parasol to shade the station from the sun, and by freeing the stuck solar panel.
		The Skylab 3 crew successfully carried out a 59-day mission, which included installing a replacement sun shade during a 6-1/2 hour space walk; test flight of an astronaut maneuvering unit inside the workshop (an AMU was flown during Gemini, but never tested) and numerous scientific studies.

	BIOMEDICAL RESULTS FROM SKYLAB - Task and Work Performance on Skylab Missions 2, 3, and 4: Time and Motion Study ...
		On Skylab 2 all data were photographed at six frames per second to provide reliable criteria for determining the end points of the elements comprising the task.
		On Skylab 3, frame rates were reduced from six frames per second to two frames per second for some activities in order to con-serve film for an adequate sampling of data over a mission twice the duration of the first.
		During Skylab missions 3 and 4 more emphasis was given to performance towards the end of the mission, to better detect performance variability, should any have occurred due to extended exposure to the Skylab environment.

	Skylab 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skylab 2 or SL-2 was the first human spaceflight mission to Skylab, the first U.S. orbital space station.
		Skylab 2 established a record for human spaceflight duration.
		Skylab's meteorite and sunshield and one of its solar arrays had torn loose during launch, and the remaining primary solar array was jammed.

	Skylab 2
		Skylab 2, consisting of a modified Apollo CSM payload and a Saturn IB launch vehicle, was inserted into Earth orbit approximately 10 minutes after liftoff.
		Major considerations in arriving at the recommendations were that a suited landing was unacceptable, the additional risk of performing the operation unsuited was extremely low, and the crew had trained premission and in flight using the proposed timeline for an unsuited jettison of the docking ring and probe assembly.
		Skylab 2 postflight medical debriefings indicated the desirability of minimizing crew exposure to recovery ship motions for both crew reconditioning and postrecovery medical evaluations.

	Skylab
		Therefore, for Skylab to use the lithium hydroxide filters, a large supply had to be carried on board Skylab or delivered with each crew, which, since keeping weight to a minimum is always a desired effect for spacecraft, was not possible.
		Skylab itself had a Sun seeker mounted in the ATM that was designed to remain pointing towards the center of the Sun, giving the Skylab module a reference vector to the Sun.
		Though Skylab did have thrusters, not enough fuel could be carried on board to cover all the manuveurs that were to be required during the three Skylab missions.

		During the launch of the Skylab OWS (Skylab 1), the meteoroid shield failed to deploy properly; as a result one of the solar panels was torn off and the second one became jammed.
		The launch of Skylab 2, scheduled for the 15th, was postponed.
		A design certification review was held for the revised Skylab 2 mission, during which the crew would erect a "parasol" of ultraviolet-resistant material (aluminized Mylar/nylon laminate) to protect the workshop from the heat of the sun.

	Mass Measurements aboard Space Station Skylab
		The orbit of Skylab was not high enough to avoid atmospheric friction, and over the years the station gradually lost altitude.
		Prior to the Skylab mission it was observed that both US and Russian astronauts returning from space had lost weight, and NASA worried whether this implied some physical deterioration which could grow worse on longer flights.
		To better observe the process, Skylab carried three mass-measuring devices--two small ones (experiment M074) for measuring the intake and outgo of each astronaut, and a large one (experiment M172) with an oscillating chair, designed for daily monitoring of the weight of the astronauts.

	Space Mission Patches - Skylab Expedition 2 Patch
		The Skylab Expedition 2 patch has as its central image an adaptation of a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, inspired by the writings of the first century BCE Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio in his De Architectura libri decem (Ten Books on Architecture), the oldest and most influential work on the subject.
		The wives of the Skylab II crew with the artist who drew the figure for the "wives" patch.
		While this is a bit of a liberty with a classic image, it does address two modern concerns: the spacesuited figure is androgynous to reflect that female astronauts perform EVAs as well as male astronauts; and it presumably cushions delicate sensibilities from abuse.

		Skylab was maneuvered so its Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) solar panels faced the Sun to provide as much electricity as possible.
		Because of the loss of the meteoroid shield, however, this positioning caused workshop temperatures to rise to 52 degrees Celsius (126 degrees F).
