Status report on Skylab project.

The major objectives of the Skylab project are to examine the medical aspects of what happens to man in long duration space flight, to make long-duration studies of the active and the quiet sun, and to gather data in the study of the ocean and the land masses of the earth. Corollary experiments use either the fact that they are to be performed in a complete vacuum, or the fact that the stars and the ultraviolet can be much more extensively studied. Some experiments in metal processing will make use of the zero force field.

Skylab status report.

The laboratory will be launched on Apr. 30, 1973, aboard a Saturn V vehicle. Approximately twenty-three and a half hours later the first crew will be launched in a command and service module aboard a Saturn IB launch vehicle. The laboratory will consist of modules. The orbital workshop (OWS) is made from the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks of a Saturn S-IVB third stage. The OWS contains the living quarters and two experiments areas. The airlock sits on top of the OWS and contains the controls and hatch for the extra-vehicular activity.
