  • danspace77 HAPPY 40th ANNIVERSARY TO SKYLAB – THE LITTLE SPACE STATION THAT….WELL, COULDN’T.

    Photo Courtesy Of: NASA Sky Lab-4 (SL-4) Mission.

    40 Years ago this afternoon; May 14, 1973 at 1730 UTC, a mighty Saturn V Rocket lifted off from Launch Complex-39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center carrying Skylab (SL-1), America’s first space station. Its orbit was shallow by today’s standards at only 146 miles (235km) high and was manned with a 3 person crew that conducted weightless experiments from 1973 to 1974. Some experiments included the Apollo Telescope Mount for solar observation as well as Earth Resources Experiment Packages (EREP) which observed the Earth in different wavelengths of light.       6d
  • danspace77 Skylab was not a failure by definition though its time on orbit was extremely short. It completed some science and more importantly paved the way through experience for the International Space Station which is the largest effort and collaboration between nations besides the waging of war. ***NOTE – If I may utilize my proverbial “soap box” for a moment; This mission is one of the reasons that I am a huge proponent for revisiting the Moon a hand full of times before we risk human life en route to Mars. The rocket, Lander, space suits and equipment will all be new and if it’s something I’ve learned about space and space flight through the years it’s that Mr. Murphy is ALWAYS on board every launch and lives in every vehicle. Therefore instead of being six plus months from home and realizing something is terribly wrong then realizing everyone is going to die because there’s not enough time to make it back, perhaps using this equipment a few days from home will allow a safe distance for working out many of the issues that will surely arise that design, testing and low Earth Orbit (LEO) will not uncover.   6d

  • treyspen Very cool @danspace77 and I fully agree about visiting the moon again!! Cheers   6d
  • danspace77 Just found a 30 min video on SKYLAB and posted it on the BLOG. Check the bottom of the post.   6d
  • clinthinrichs Poor Skylab, three missions, and still a fail. At least we learned from that and never gave up. Now a giant 200 Ton structure called the ISS is orbiting over our heads. @danspace77   5d
  • davidnemeyer Probably should've spent that money on more Apollo flights instead, but then who's to say how ISS would have ended up I guess.   5d
  • rolleipollei Pete Conrad said he felt the work done on Skylab was much more significant than the accomplishment of his lunar mission - showing that humans could live in space for extended periods and perform real work there. Sad that there were only three missions.   5d
  • lukas_prater @rolleipollei Pete Conrad was awesome! Haha. @danspace77 , well put, and great photo. By the way, about the 6 plus month long mission there and back, this travel time could be significantly reduced by other means of propulsion. Which one do you think could come around by the time we're ready to go to Mars (early, primitive fusion reactors, electrical propulsion, solar sail technology, etc...)?   2d

  • earth2hub ON THIS DAY: Launched 40 years ago on 14 May 1973, Skylab became America's first space station. The goals for the space lab were primarily to enrich our scientific knowledge of the Earth, the sun, and the stars. Experiments tackled the basic notion of how space affects living beings. Skylab looked at the effects of weightlessness on man and other living organisms, the effects of the processing and manufacturing of materials utilizing the absence of gravity, and made Earth resource observations, as well as UV astronomy experiments and detailed X-ray studies of the sun.
    Skylab's 40th anniversary reminds us of the danger from space debris - Nasa's Skylab fell to Earth after budget cuts left it stranded in space. More than three decades later we are still struggling with the threat from space debris. #earth2hub - Celebrating the Power of the Possible - #science #technology #inspiration #skylab #nasa #space       6d
