	Skylab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Skylab was launched May 14, 1973 by a Saturn INT-21 (a two-stage version of the Saturn V launch vehicle).
		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.

	Project Apollo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The later Skylab program and the joint American-Soviet Apollo-Soyuz Test Project used equipment originally produced for Apollo, and are often considered to be part of the overall program.
		The Apollo program was at least partly motivated by psycho-political considerations, in the context of the Cold War and the Space Race.
		Skylab's fuselage was constructed from the second stage of a Saturn IB, and the station was equipped with the Apollo Telescope Mount, itself based on a lunar module.

	Skylab
		Launch of the unoccupied Skylab, designated Skylab 1 (the occupied missions were officially designated Skylabs 2, 3 and 4, but are generally referred to as Skylabs I, II and III, and are referred to in that manner here) took place on May 14, 1973, and problems set in early on.
		The first crew, Skylab I, which was supposed to launch the next day, was delayed for ten days while mission personnel devised a method to repair the crippled station.
		Skylab's orbit slowly deteriorated and it finally burned up in the atmosphere on July 11, 1979, more than five years after the last crew left for home.

	We Are Not the First
		Skylab, the first American space program wholly dedicated to scientific research, was staffed by three crews who performed hundreds of experiments for more than 171 days from May 1973 to February 1974.
		Skylab was launched into orbit on May 14, 1973, as part of the Apollo Program.
		Skylab was the site of nearly 300 scientific and technical experiments: medical experiments on human adaptability to zero gravity, solar observations, and detailed Earth resources experiments.The empty Skylab spacecraft returned to Earth earlier than expected on July 11, 1979, scattering debris over the Indian Ocean and the sparsely settled region of Western Australia.

	BIOMEDICAL RESULTS FROM SKYLAB - Skylab Medical Program Overview (Sec.1,Ch.1)
		Skylab, at its inception called the Apollo Applications Program, was a natural and necessary follow-on to the Gemini and Apollo Programs.
		The Skylab medical experiments listed in table 1-I were designed to provide an indepth study of individual body systems and at the same time provide an overlap to give comprehensive understanding of man's reaction to long-term weightless flight.
		The objective of this program was to protect the in-residence flight crew from illnesses which might cause them to be removed from flight status and to preclude exposure to infectious disease which could develop in flight.

	NASA - Part I - The History of Skylab
		Skylab served as the greatest solar observatory of its time, a microgravity lab, a medical lab, an Earth-observing facility, and, most importantly, a home away from home for its residents.
		As successful as the program was, the first two crews had to overcome some unexpected challenges.
		Original plans called for the station to remain in space after the final Skylab mission, for another 8 to 10 years, possibly to be visited by the Shuttle fleet.

	Skylab
		Designed for long duration mission, Skylab program objectives were twofold: To prove that humans could live and work in space for extended periods, and to expand our knowledge of solar astronomy well beyond Earth-based observations.
		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 was actually the third stage of a Saturn V rocket.
		The deployment of the shield damaged one of the solar array mounts and caused the array to be torn from its mount.
		When the Skylab 4 crew splashed down on February 8, 1974, mission control conducted a few more experiments from the ground and then shut the station down.

		The next major advancement in the quality and variety of space food occurred in 1973 during the Skylab Program (a space mission after Apollo, in which a third stage of a Saturn V rocket was converted into a space station).
		Skylab relied on solar cells for power, instead of water-producing fuel cells.

		Prior to the launch of the Skylab 2 crew two types of gas analysis detector tubes and two activated charcoal and hopcalite masks were put aboard the Command and Service Module to protect the unsuited crewmen upon their initial entry into the Orbital Workshop to sample its atmosphere.
		The experiences and data gained in the Skylab program have demonstrated that the crew was provided with as safe an environment as could be attained using the current state-of-the-art trace gas removal technology.

	The Human Touch: The History of the Skylab Program
		The Skylab program, then, had a great immediate impact in aiding the expansion of scientific knowledge, but also offered the long-range benefit of demonstrating the importance of the continuance of the human component in the American space program.
		As part of a program to investigate the possibility of creating a military base on the moon, Wernher von Braun of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, in June 1959, suggested that a necessary step in such a venture would involve first building an orbital Space Station.
		While the program unquestionably yielded valuable scientific information, its greatest value came from its demonstration of the importance of the human element in the space program.
