Lot Essay

This photograph was taken by the Skylab Command/Service Module during Skylab 2’s final fly-around inspection. It shows the Skylab Space Station where the single solar panel and the parasol solar shield are visible that were used to replace the micrometeoroid shield. This had been torn off during a mishap in Skylab 1 liftoff.
