Skylab was America's first experimental space station. Designed
for a long duration mission, Skylab program objectives were twofold: The
first was to prove that humans could live and work in space for extended
periods. The second was to expand our knowledge of solar astronomy well
beyond Earth-based observations. Skylab as successful in all respects
. Despite early mechanical difficulties, three three-man crews occupied
the Skylab workshop for a total of 171 days, 13 hours. It was the site
of nearly 300 scientific and technical experiments: medical experiments
on humans' adaptability to zero gravity, solar observations, and detailed
Earth resources experiments. The empty Skylab spacecraft returned to Earth
July 11, 1979 scattering debris over the Indian Ocean and the sparsely
settled region of Western Australia.
The three films that make up the Skylab collection have
a total run time of 1 hour 28 minutes.
The first film is "Skylab - The First 40 Days."
This film explores the early days of Skylab, detailing the challenges
and mechanical issues the first crew experienced and what steps they took
to overcome these difficulties and survive for the duration of the mission.
