	Skylab 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Skylab 3 or SL-3 was the second manned mission to Skylab.
		The Skylab 3 mission started July 28, 1973, with the launch of three astronauts on the Saturn IB rocket, and lasted 59 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes.
		Skylab 3 continued a comprehensive medical research program that extended the data on human physiological adaptation and readaptation to space flight collected on the previous Skylab 2 mission.

	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 - LOWER BODY NEGATIVE PRESSURE THIRD MANNED SKYLAB (Sec.5,Ch.29)
		The objective of the Skylab Lower Body Negative Pressure experiment designated M092, was to determine the extent and the time course of changes in orthostatic tolerance during the weightlessness of space flight and to determine whether in-flight data from the experiment would be useful in predicting the postflight status of orthostatic tolerance.
		Among the three astronauts, the Commander of Skylab 2, the Pilot of Skylab 3, and the Commander of Skylab 4, whose in-flight tests were nominally performed in the morning, only one presyncopal episode occurred and this was in the Commander during a test performed in the afternoon over 9 hours after arising.
		Skylab studies have clearly shown that changes in fluid volume distribution during the first few hours of flight creates profound alterations in cardiovascular functions which in turn, impair orthostatic mechanisms to a marked degree as early as 4 or 5 days after entering the weightless environment.

	The Skylab Space Station
		Skylab, a science and engineering laboratory, was launched into Earth orbit by a Saturn V rocket on 14 May 1973.
		Skylab 3, the second manned mission to Skylab, carried the S150 X-ray experiment.
		The collimators defined 3 intersecting fields of view (~2x20 degrees) on the sky, which allowed source positions to be determined to ~ 30 arcmin.

		The Skylab space station was launched May 14, 1973, from the NASA Kennedy Space Center by a huge Saturn V launch vehicle.
		The launch of Skylab 2 (the first crew to inhabit the space station) was postponed for 10 days while scientists, engineers, astronauts, and management personnel at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and elsewhere developed procedures and trained the crew to make the workshop habitable.

		The Skylab space station was launched May 14, 1973, from the NASA Kennedy Space Center by a huge Saturn V launch vehicle, the moon rocket of the Apollo Space Program.
		Skylab's achievements are a summary of the accomplishments of many ground-based persons as well as its three separate crews who were launched in Apollo-type command modules by Saturn IB vehicles on May 25, July 28, and November 16, 1973.
		The capability to conduct longer manned missions was conclusively demonstrated in Skylab, first by the crew returning from the 28 day mission and, more forcefully, by the good health and physical condition of the second and third Skylab crews who stayed in weightless space for 59 and 84 days respectively.

	Skylab Space Station
		Skylab's purpose was to serve as a laborarory for scientific experiments in space until February 1974.
		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.

	BIOMEDICAL RESULTS FROM SKYLAB - Crew Efficiency on First Exposure to Zero-Gravity (Sec.2,Ch.17)
		Skylab data may allow a reasonably objective analysis of crew efficiency to be made during the first few days in-flight since an "activation" schedule was prepared preflight for each crew.
		As an example of the depth of detail, the table for Skylab 3 (the second manned mission) is attached as exhibit A at the end of this chapter.
		The Skylab 3 crew had been awake on mission day 1 for a total time of 22 hours (only 7.5 available for activation), followed by 18 waking hours on mission day 2.

	Apollo Telescope Mount
		SKYLAB and the attached Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) were launched into near earth orbit by a Saturn V rocket on 14 May 1973.
		Skylab was a scientist's spacecraft: its experiments were many and sound and foremost in the mission.
		The entire complex was christened Skylab and would be placed in orbit with a Saturn V. Three visits were planned, for 26, 56, and 56 days; it was hoped to operate the ATM and other experiments over a period of 9 months.

	Sandcastle V.I. - Spaceflight Directory - Project Skylab
		Skylab was launched on May 14, 1973 and almost immediately ran into serious problems.
		However, the ingenious astronaut crews who lived on board Skylab during the next six months were able to make repairs and conduct a tremendous amount of pioneering scientific experiments in areas ranging from the effects of weightlessness on the human body, to solar and stellar astronomy, to Earth resource observations, to materials processing.
		When NASA was unable to obtain the funding necessary to attach a booster rocket to Skylab to raise it to a higher and safer orbit, the space station's orbit eventually decayed and Skylab plunged through the Earth's atmosphere to its destruction on July 12, 1979.

		On Skylab 3, there was a sharp loss of 3 to 4 percent of body weight over the first 4 or 5 days following exposure to weightlessness.
		On Skylab 4, we see the same pattern in one crewman; the crewman who was nauseated and not eating and drinking, just as had been the case with all three Skylab 3 crewmen.

	Manned Space Chronology: Skylab 3
		Launch crews at the Kennedy Space Center were placed on a 24-hour per-day, seven day per-week work schedule to prepare the Skylab 4 Saturn IB launch vehicle for flight in case an early launch was needed for a rescue operation.
		A decision was made to continue the mission, and although the Skylab 4 launch vehicle had been rushed to flight-readiness, the CSM performed flawlessly during re-entry operations.
		During this spacewalk, the astronauts were able to extend an external twin-pole thermal shield to replace the parasol thermal shield installed by the Skylab 2 crew.

	The Rescue That Never Was: Skylab 3
		Long before Skylab was ever built, planners began to realize that unlike past programs, a rescue could occur if there were problems with the CSM while it was docked to the station.
		Because of Skylab’s large stores of oxygen, food, and water a crew could stay onboard for several weeks until a rescue effort could be prepared and eventually launched.
		After Skylab 4’s splashdown on February 8, 1974, the kit was dismantled and CSM-119 was again solely reserved for the ASTP program.

		NASA had them go ahead and dock-figuring that they were safer aboard Skylab-and then, 6 days later, noted a problem with another thruster quad.
		Activities were curtailed for a couple of days, and the docs back in Houston had them change their diet; after about 5 days, they were adjusted well enough to zero-G that NASA had them go on with the flight plan.
		The crew left the station 3 days later; they prayed they had enough authority from the fussy thruster quads to do it.
