Title: View of the Skylab 1 space station cluster from the Skylab 2 Command Module
Description:
A close-up view of the Skylab 1 space station cluster can be seen in this 
reproduction taken from a color television transmission made by a TV 
camera aboard the Skylab 2 Command Module during its "fly around"
inspection  of the cluster. Numbers across the top of the picture indicate
the Skylab 1  ground elapsed time. Note the missing portion of the
micrometeoroid shield on  the Orbital Workshop. The shield area was
reported to be solid gold by the  Skylab 2 crewmen. A cable appears to be
wrapped around the damaged OWS solar  array system wing. The crewmen
reported that the other OWS solar panel was  completely gone, with only
tubes and wiring sticking out. The Multiple  Docking Adapter is in the
lower left corner of the picture. A portion of a  solar panel on the Apollo
Telescope Mount is visible at the bottom and at the  left edge.
