About this work

This image of Skylab in orbit was taken by the Skylab-2 crew before departing for Earth. The crew made a careful visual and photographic inspection of the orbiting laboratory. It shows the parasol sunshade, deployed by the crew, protecting the workshop. While unmarned, it operated at reduced power with many of its systems either inoperative or operating at reduced capacity.
