50 years ago: the first ever repair spacewalk! ๐ง
When Skylab was launched on May 14, 1973, one of the solar arrays on its Orbital Workshop was ripped off and the other was jammed closed with debris. The space station was losing power.
Skylab 2 returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building #OTD in 1973 after several weeks of testing on the launch pad. #Skylab50 #kennedyspacecenter #skylab2 #skylab #spacestation #vehicleassemblybuilding #nasa #space #searchingforskylab
Skylab's spinning chair tested astronauts' sensivity to motion sickness in space. Skylab 2's Joe Kerwin demonstrates:#stomachandintestineday #astronaut #spaceflight #intestine #stomach #motionsickness #spacesickness #joekerwin #skylab2 #skylab #documentary #space #spacestation
You'd be smiling too if you knew you were going to space. Plus, Skylab 2's Pete Conrad being Pete. #dayofthesmile #smileday #smile #smileinspace #space #skylab #skylab2 #documentary #searchingforskylab #astronauts #astronaut
Why would astronauts need machetes in space? More likely after an emergency landing, hence why they had them in survival kits onboard the capsule. #skylab2 #skylab #joekerwin #survivalkit #rescue #survivaltraining #space #spacehistory #documentary #searchingforskylab #emergency
Welcome home, Pete, Joe and Paul! The first crew of Skylab returned to Earth on this day after their groundbreaking mission to the space station. President Nixon even brought over Leonid Breznev to say hi.#skylab2 #peteconrad #joekerwin #paulweitz #richardnixon #leonidbreznev
On his birthday, we remember Pete Conrad, astronaut on Gemini 5 and 11, Apollo 12 moonwalker, and Skylab 2 Commander.

Skylab's first crew launched #OTD in 1973 to repair the station and do science in space for a full month, another first in American space history!#space #spacehistory #skylab2 #sl2 #skylab2launch #rescue #documentary #nasa #astronaut #astronauts #spacestation #searchingforskylab
The first crew of Skylab had their launch postponed due to the damage to the station. They would have to wait to come up with repair solutions first.

Skylab 1 and 2 stood on their launch pads 49 years ago, ready to go! The smaller S-IB rocket even needed a special stool to fit on the launch pad.
