The Skylab space station photographed from the Skylab 3 Command/Service Module during station keeping maneuvers prior to docking. Aboard the command module were astronauts Alan Bean, Owen Garriott and Jack Lousma, who remained with the Skylab space station in Earth's orbit for 59 days. Note the one solar array system wing on the Orbital Workshop (OWS) which was successfully deployed during extravehicular activity (EVA) on the first manned Skylab flight. The parasol solar shield which was deployed by the Skylab 2 crew can be seen through the support struts of the Apollo Telescope Mount. Jul 28 1973.
