Title: Artist's concept illustrating cutaway view of Skylab Rescue Command Module
Description:
An artist's concept illustrating a cutaway view of the general arrangement
of the Skylab Rescue Command Module (CM). The standard Skylab CM
accommodates a crew of three with storage lockers on the aft bulkhead for
resupply of experiment film and other equipment as well as the return of
exposed film, data tapes and experiment samples. To convert the standard
CM to a rescue vehicle, the storage lockers are removed and replaced with
two crew couches in order to seat five crewmen. The rescue CM would then
be launched with a crew of two.
