EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Command Module of Skylab 4, a significant milestone in American space exploration. Created by North American Rockwell, this module served as the crew cabin for transporting astronauts to and from Skylab, the first U. S. space station. Launched on November 16,1973, with Command and Service Modules CSM-118, Skylab 4 marked the third and final mission of the Skylab program. During their remarkable journey, astronauts Gerald P. Carr, William R. Pogue, and Edward G. Gibson spent an impressive 84 days in orbit before safely landing on February 8th, 1974. This historic mission included various experiments and observations such as studying Comet Kohoutek. The crew's accomplishments were truly extraordinary: they completed an astounding total of 1,214 Earth orbits while conducting four extra-vehicular activities that lasted over 22 hours combined. CSM-118 played a vital role in this groundbreaking endeavor and was subsequently transferred from NASA to the prestigious Smithsonian Institution in 1975 for preservation. This photograph not only captures a pivotal moment in space travel but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and scientific progress during the seventies era. It stands proudly among other artifacts at America's renowned National Air and Space Museum (NASM), educating visitors about our nation's rich aerospace heritage.
