OTD in Space – July 11: Abandoned Skylab Returns to Earth
On July 11, 1979, the abandoned U.S. space station Skylab made a spectacular return to Earth as it burned up in the atmosphere, showering debris over the Indian Ocean and Western Australia. The last crew left the space station in 1974. Over time, it began to deorbit, slowly sinking closer and closer to Earth. Skylab actually fell back to Earth a little sooner than NASA anticipated. Strong solar storms were blamed for this premature plunge, because solar activity had warmed up Earth's atmosphere. As pieces of Skylab broke up in the atmosphere, residents and pilots in the area saw dozens of colorful firework-like flares.
Skylab Experiment S073 Dr Jerry Weinberg
Skylab experiment S073 was designed to measure the surface brightness and polarization associated with zodiacal light, background starlight, and spacecraft corona during each of the Skylab missions using a 10-color photoelectric polarimeter. The polarimeter and a 16 mm camera were mounted in parallel on a scanning platform at the end of an extension mechanism which
could be deployed up to a distance of 5.5 m beyond the spacecraft through scientific airlocks (SAL's) in either the solar or antisolar directions. This video includes Dr. Jerry Weinberg describing the experiment.

Here's How NASA Didn't Save Skylab
NASA did have a plan in place to save the Skylab space station. Knowing Skylab's orbit was slowly decaying, NASA decided to use the space shuttle to boost the station into a higher, more stable orbit. Sadly, it never flew. Want more Vintage Space?

Meet Skylab, America's First Space Station
Long before the International Space Station there was Skylab, the rocket stage turned astronaut habitat. Skylab was NASA's first space station, designed to extend manned mission in Earth orbit using repurposed, leftover Apollo hardware. The three crews that lived aboard the station returned incredible science results (more on that in a later episode!) but the station was eventually abandoned in orbit.

Skylab 4 Over the Great Lakes in Winter
Skylab 4 (also SL-4 and SLM-3[2]) was the third manned Skylab mission and placed the third and final crew aboard the first American space station. The mission started on November 16, 1973 with the launch of three astronauts on a Saturn IB rocket from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida and lasted 84 days, one hour and 16 minutes. A total of 6,051 astronaut-utilization hours were tallied by Skylab 4 astronauts performing scientific experiments in the areas of medical activities, solar observations, Earth resources, observation of the Comet Kohoutek and other experiments. The manned Skylab missions were officially designated Skylab 2, 3, and 4. Mis-communication about the numbering resulted in the mission emblems reading Skylab I, Skylab II, and Skylab 3 respectively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylab_4 S110
NASA AERONAUTICS AND SPACE REPORT SKYLAB 1973 71922

NASA SKYLAB 3 MISSION REPORT 71902
Made during the Skylab program, this film featuring astronauts Alan Bean, Owen K. Garriot and Jack R. Lousma details the repairs made to the space station after it was damaged during launch, and then describes the second manned mission to the space station known as the Skylab 3 mission. The station was damaged during launch when the micrometeoroid shield separated from the workshop and tore away, taking one of two main solar panel arrays with it and jamming the other one so that it could not deploy. This deprived Skylab of most of its electrical power, and also removed protection from intense solar heating, threatening to make it unusable. The first crew was able to save it in the first in-space major repair, by deploying a replacement heat shade and freeing the jammed solar panels. The Skylab 3 mission began July 28, 1973, with the launch of three astronauts on the Saturn IB rocket, and lasted 59 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes. A total of 1,084.7 astronaut-utilization hours were tallied by the Skylab 3 crew performing scientific experiments in the areas of medical activities, solar observations, Earth resources, and other experiments. The manned Skylab missions were officially designated Skylab 2, 3, and 4. Mis-communication about the numbering resulted in the mission emblems reading Skylab I, Skylab II, and Skylab 3 respectively.

NASA SKYLAB SPACE STATION PUBLICITY FILM 71912
Produced prior to the launch of Skylab, this publicity film featuring astronauts Charles "Pete" Conrad, Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz, gives an overview of the space station and its mission. Skylab was a space station launched and operated by NASA and was the United States' first space station. Skylab orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979, and included a workshop, a solar observatory, and other systems. It was launched unmanned by a modified Saturn V rocket, with a weight of 169,950 pounds (77 t). Three manned missions to the station, conducted between 1973 and 1974 using the Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) atop the smaller Saturn IB, each delivered a three-astronaut crew. On the last two manned missions, an additional Apollo / Saturn IB stood by ready to rescue the crew in orbit if it was needed. The station was damaged during launch when the micrometeoroid shield separated from the workshop and tore away, taking one of two main solar panel arrays with it and jamming the other one so that it could not deploy. This deprived Skylab of most of its electrical power, and also removed protection from intense solar heating, threatening to make it unusable. The first crew was able to save it in the first in-space major repair, by deploying a replacement heat shade and freeing the jammed solar panels. Skylab included the Apollo Telescope Mount, which was a multi-spectral solar observatory, Multiple Docking Adapter (with two docking ports), Airlock Module with EVA hatches, and the Orbital Workshop, the main habitable volume. Electrical power came from solar arrays, as well as fuel cells in the docked Apollo CSM. The rear of the station included a large waste tank, propellant tanks for maneuvering jets, and a heat radiator. Numerous scientific experiments were conducted aboard Skylab during its operational life, and crews were able to confirm the existence of coronal holes in the Sun. The Earth Resources Experiment Package (EREP) was used to view the Earth with sensors that recorded data in the visible, infrared, and microwave spectral regions. Thousands of photographs of Earth were taken, and records for human time spent in orbit were extended. Plans were made to refurbish and reuse Skylab, using the Space Shuttle to boost its orbit and repair it. However, development of the Shuttle was delayed, and Skylab reentered Earth's atmosphere and disintegrated in 1979, with debris striking portions of Western Australia. Post-Skylab NASA space laboratory projects included Spacelab, Shuttle-Mir, and Space Station Freedom (later merged into the International Space Station).

KerbalOdyssey - Salyut/Skylab
KerbalOdyssey is my attempt to revisit and expand upon space history using Kerbal Space Program, with the help of the FASA, Skylab, Soyuz/Salyut, and HexTruss mods. In Part 5, we conclude "What if we did not abandon Skylab" by linking a Russian Salyut station to it, completing the first international space station, decades early.
Future expansions to the station will continue in a less lengthy montage format. Next Episode: "Can Direct Ascent work on the Moon?"

(1) The final chapter in The Great Skylab Cover-Up
(2) The secret war of the walking dead
(3) How America will relearn the fear of God In recent weeks we Americans have been reeling from one crisis
to another--the gasoline crisis, the dollar crisis with gold
peaking at new record levels, the fall of Nicaragua, the alleged
crash to earth of SKYLAB, rumors of a new Russian military
command in Cuba, controversy over the SALT II treaty, and above
all the Carter crisis--with one shocking and unprecedented
development after another. Meanwhile, in the background, there's
a continuing drumbeat of lesser mysteries to worry
about--chemical plants, refineries, and oil storage depots keep
exploding and burning daily all around us; railroad tank cars
keep derailing, leaking and exploding here and there--but these
things have become so commonplace in the past two years that we
hardly even pay attention any more. Instead we wonder, "Why did
those 41 sperm whales suddenly beach themselves and die last
month on the Oregon coast?" Even the marine biologists in that
area leave us with the words: "It may always be a mystery." But that soon fades from our minds, and instead our attention
is diverted by pathetic television re-runs of America's heyday in
space a decade ago. As we watch the fuzzy picture of a spaceman
as he steps gingerly onto the moon, for a moment it is once again
July 20, 1969; and for a brief moment we thrill once again to
those famous words of Neil Armstrong: "That's one small step for
a man, one giant leap for mankind." For a moment we may forget
how different it is today. Our manned Space Station SKYLAB is
now officially dead according to NASA, while Russian cosmonauts
are setting new records in their Salyut 6 Space Station; and,
strangely, the American Space Shuttle just can't seem to get off
the ground. "What's happened to NASA?", we may ask ourselves;
and "If we could land men on the moon, why can't we solve any of
our other problems?" But before we can think of any answers, our
attention is diverted again. "Here comes another bombshell from
Washington", says the TV, and we forget everything else, absorbed
in the latest bewildering event in the Carter crisis. My friends, news reports about these events always make them
seem as if they were separate and unrelated. As a result, they
seem to make no sense; and so we do as we are intended to do, we
just throw up our hands. The more evil our leaders have become,
the more we have decided to just trust them; and the more
secretive our Government has become, the more we have lied to
ourselves that we knew what was going on. But the events I
mentioned a few moments ago are not separate and unrelated. They
are all parts of a bigger picture; like pieces of a jigsaw
puzzle, each piece makes sense when you know what the total
picture is. That is why in my AUDIO LETTER series I keep
focusing on the total picture--that is what I said I would do
when I inaugurated the AUDIO LETTER series in June 1975. Each
month I can only highlight a few of the specific events that are
pieces of the puzzle, but each month I try to add more to your
own understanding so that you can learn to see the truth for
yourself. For long-time careful listeners of my AUDIO LETTERS, recent
events ought not to be any real surprise. For example, consider
the fluctuating decline of the United States dollar and the
fluctuating rise of gold prices. Lately many former anti-gold
figures have jumped onto the gold bandwagon, as if they had
always been there. Yet they tell you nothing about why these
events are now taking place. My friends, the reasons are those
which I made public six years ago in my book, five years ago in
Congressional testimony, and then in my AUDIO LETTERS. [...] "
Skylab Space Station
Features much of the early footage of the effects of weightlessness on astronauts as they work, exercise and perform acrobatics in the large space station. Skylab was NASA’s first space station. The 77-tonne outpost was in Earth orbit from 1973 to 1979 and was visited by crews three times from 1973 to 1974.

Ed Gibson on the Heart of Leadership
For 21 years, Ed Gibson held the American record for time in space, having spent 84 straight days aboard America's first space station, Skylab, as the Scientist-Pilot. During that 1974 mission, he worked outside the space station for more than 15 hours during three different space walks. During his 14-year career with NASA, Ed served on the support crew of the Apollo 12 mission and was the ground communicator with the flight crew as they explored the moon. He earned Air Force wings and logged over 2,200 hours in high-performance aircraft and 100 hours in helicopters. After his NASA career, Ed excelled in program management and marketing with Booz, Allen, and Hamilton and TRW. He later served as the president of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and his own consulting company, Gibson International. He is recently retired as Senior Vice President and Contract Manager with Science Applications International Corporation. Ed speaks uses humor and genuine adventure to speak on Motivation, Leadership, and Management. Book Ed Gibson at Speakers.com. http://www.speakers.com/Ed-Gibson-speaker-biography

Esperance Museum
The Esperance museum contains a large variety of local history, including this display on Skylab. Launched on May 14th, 1973 from Kennedy Space Centre, Florida USA, Skylab completed 34,981 orbits of the earth, before crashing back to earth in the early hours of July 13th, 1979; pieces of the space station Skylab crashed onto Esperance after the craft broke up over the Indian Ocean. The Americans were fined $400 for littering, but that fine was completely ignored until 2009, when a radio presenter collected the money and sent it to Esperance. The Museum is also proud of its collection of material from the 1800s including unique early machinery, furniture and glassware; various pieces of gear and a lifeboat from the Sanko Harvest, and a period style supermarket showing some of the old familiar brands of baby food, laundry detergent and soap.

Skylab was America's first space station, taking scientific research to new heights and proving humankind could live and work in space for long periods of time. Skylab set the stage for the work conducted today on the International Space Station, where scientists use more advanced technology, a foundation of knowledge and more time to conduct experiments in space, free from Earth's gravity. This work can be applied to benefit humankind both on Earth and in space, as we prepare to explore deeper into our solar system.

Skylab Astronauts Reflect on Life Off Earth
It's been about 40 years since people attempted to answer the question, "can human beings adapt to long-term life in space?" There have been huge leaps since the world's first space station, a Soviet module that hosted a crew of cosmonauts for three weeks in 1971. The U.S. space agency, NASA, says the first U.S. effort, Skylab, laid the groundwork for the International Space Station that orbits above us today. VOA's Suzanne Presto in Washington has more about what Skylab achieved before its mission ended and it plummeted to Earth in 1979.
The Skylab Legacy -- Long Duration Space Flight

40th Anniversary of Skylab
During a special presentation at NASA Headquarters, the agency commemorated the 40th anniversary of Skylab, America's first space station. The program featured Skylab astronauts, a current astronaut and agency managers planning future space missions. NASA launched Skylab on May 14, 1973. It was the nation's first foray into significant scientific research in microgravity. The three Skylab crews proved humans could live and work effectively for long durations in space. The knowledge gathered during Skylab helped inform development and construction of the International Space Station, just as the research and technology demonstrations being conducted aboard the ISS will help shape a new set of missions that will take Americans farther into the solar system.

Skylab Space Station - 40th Anniversary
SKYLAB SALUTED - MSFC. NASA Marshall. And, employees of the Marshall Space Flight Center commemorated this year's 40th anniversary of Skylab by hosting five astronauts who flew on America's first space station, Joe Kerwin, Paul Weitz, Ed Gibson, Gerald Carr and Jack Lousma shared their stories and highlights from their missions aboard Skylab. From May 1973 to February 1974, three crews occupied Skylab, a Saturn V rocket modified at Marshall. Its nine astronaut residents conducted human-adaptation and materials experiments, as well as scientific studies of the Earth, sun, and stars. The research they performed on Skylab then enabled the ground-breaking science being studied now aboard the International Space Station for the benefit of humankind.
Skylab space station, (40th-1973), "Build A Space Station", BBC
INFO. WIKIPEDIA: Skylab was a space station launched and operated by NASA (the space agency of the United States) and was the U.S.'s first space station. Skylab orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979, and included a workshop, a solar observatory, and other systems. It was launched unmanned by a modified Saturn V rocket, with a mass of 169,950 pounds (77 t).[1] Three manned missions to the station, conducted between 1973 and 1974 using the Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) atop the smaller Saturn IB, each delivered a three-astronaut crew. On the last two manned missions, an additional Apollo / Saturn IB stood by ready to rescue the crew in orbit if it was needed.
Skylab included the Apollo Telescope Mount, which was a multi-spectral solar observatory, Multiple Docking Adapter (with two docking ports), Airlock Module with EVA hatches, and the Orbital Workshop, the main habitable volume. Electrical power came from solar arrays, as well as fuel cells in the docked Apollo CSM. The rear of the station included a large waste tank, propellant tanks for maneuvering jets, and a heat radiator.
The station was damaged during launch when the micrometeoroid shield separated from the workshop and tore away, taking one of two main solar panel arrays with it and jamming the other one so that it could not deploy. This deprived Skylab of most of its electrical power, and also removed protection from intense solar heating, threatening to make it unusable. The first crew was able to save it in the first ever in-space major repair, by deploying a replacement heat shade and freeing the jammed solar panels.

After Skylab's demise, the focus shifted to the reusable Spacelab module, an orbital workshop that could be deployed from the Space Shuttle and returned to Earth. The next American space station project was Space Station Freedom, which was never completed, although it eventually led to the construction of the US Orbital Segment of the International Space Station, starting in 1998. Shuttle-Mir was another project, and led to the U.S. funding Spektr, Priroda, and the Mir Docking Module in the 1990s.

Las Efemérides de Jorge Hurtado, Julio 11, La Estación Espacial Skylab
Un día como hoy 11 de Julio
Pero del año 1979. La primera estación espacial Skylab de EEUU, cae a la Tierra de forma incontrolada, estrellándose sobre Australia. Orbitó alrededor de la Tierra 6 años, fue visitada por astronautas en 3 ocasiones.
Con un peso de 75 toneladas, fue lanzada el 14 de mayo de 1973, impulsada por el cohete Saturno V. La estación sufrió daños durante el lanzamiento, perdiendo el escudo solar y antimeteoritos, y uno de sus paneles solares principales, causando un desajuste energético y de temperaturas.
La primera tripulación una nave Apolo lanzada el 25 de mayo de 1973, realizó tareas de reparación y permaneció 28 días en la estación. Las siguientes misiones duraron 59 y 84 días respectivamente, con un total de 171 días. Finalmente, el 11 de julio de 1979 cayó sobre Oceanía.
Australia; le impuso una multa de $400 Dlls. a la NASA por arrojar basura en territorio público. Aunque fracasó, dio lecciones que ayudaron al éxito de misiones posteriores. El programa de Transbordadores (naves reutilizables) y El poderoso Telescopio Hubble.
1973 Skylab Space Launch Observation - July 28, 1973
1973 Skylab Launch - July 28, 1973 Skylab 3 (also SL-3 and SLM-2]) 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. A total of 1,084.7 astronaut-utilization hours were tallied by Skylab 3 astronauts performing scientific experiments in the areas of medical activities, solar observations, Earth resources and other experiments. The manned Skylab missions were officially designated Skylab 2, 3, and 4. Mis-communication about the numbering resulted in the mission emblems reading Skylab I, Skylab II, and Skylab 3 respectively. During the approach phase, problems developed in the Apollo CSM's reaction control system, and a leak formed. The crew was able to safely dock with Skylab, but troubleshooting would continue with the problem. For the first time, an Apollo spacecraft would be rolled out to Launch Complex 39 for a rescue mission, made possible by the ability for the station to have two Apollo CSMs docked at the same time. They eventually fixed the problem, and the rescue mission was never launched. The crew, during their first EVA, installed the twin-pole sunshade, one of the two solutions for the destruction of the micrometeoroid shield during Skylab's launch to keep the space station cool. It was installed over the parasol, which was originally deployed through a porthole airlock during Skylab 2. Both were brought to the station by Skylab 2. 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. In addition, Skylab 3 extended the astronauts stay in space from approximately one month to two months. Therefore, the effects of flight duration on physiological adaptation and readaptation could be examined. A set of core medical investigations were performed on all three Skylab manned missions. These core investigations were the same basic investigations that were performed on Skylab 2, except that the Skylab 3 inflight tests were supplemented with extra tests based on what researchers learned from the Skylab 2 science results. For example, only leg volume measurements, preflight and postflight stereophotogrammetry, and in-flight maximum calf girth measurements were originally scheduled for all three Skylab missions. In-flight photographs from Skylab 2 revealed the "puffy face syndrome" which prompted the addition of in-flight torso and limb girth measurements to gather more data on the apparent headward fluid shift on Skylab 3. Other additional tests included arterial blood flow measurements by an occlusive cuff placed around the leg, facial photographs taken before flight and during flight to study the "puffy face syndrome", venous compliance, hemoglobin, urine specific gravity, and urine mass measurements. These inflight tests gave additional information about fluid distribution and fluid balance to get a better understanding of the fluid shift phenomena. The Skylab 3 biological experiments studied the effects of microgravity on mice, fruit flies, single cells and cell culture media. Human lung cells were flown to examine the biochemical characteristics of cell cultures in the microgravity environment. The two animal experiments were entitled Chronobiology of Pocket Mice and Circadian Rhythm in Vinegar Gnats. Both experiments were unsuccessful due to a power failure 30 hours after launch, which killed the animals.[4] High school students from across the United States participated in the Skylab missions as the primary investigators of experiments that studied astronomy, physics, and fundamental biology. The student experiments performed on Skylab 3 included the study of libration clouds, x-rays from Jupiter, in-vitro immunology, spider web formation, cytoplasmic streaming, mass measurement, and neutron analysis. The crew's health was assessed on Skylab by collecting data on dental health, environmental and crew microbiology, radiation, and toxicological aspects of the Skylab orbital workshop. Other assessments were made of astronaut maneuvering equipment and of the habitability of the crew quarters, and crew activities/maintenance experiments were examined on Skylab 2 through 4 to better understand the living and working aspects of life in space.
