    Photo Description

    JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON, TEXAS.  SKYLAB 4 ON-BOARD PHOTO -- An overhead view of the Skylab space station cluster in Earth orbit, as photographed from the Skylab 4 Command and Service Module (CSM) during the final "fly-around" by the CSM before the return home. The space station is contrasted against a cloud-covered Earth. Note the solar shield which was deployed by the second crew of Skylab and which shades the Orbital Workshop (OWS) in the area from which a micrometeoroid shield has been missing since the cluster was launched on May 14, 1973. The OWS solar panel on the left side was also lost on workshop launch day. Inside the CSM when this picture was made were Astronaut Gerald P. Carr, commander; Scientist-Astronaut Edward G. Gibson, science pilot; and Astronaut William R. Pogue, pilot. The crew used a 70mm handheld Hasselblad camera to take the photo.
