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. This view has been enhanced. At left center the
damaged solar array system wing on the Orbital Workshop (OWS) appears to
be partly folded. In their preliminary inspection the crewmen noted that
portions of the micrometeoroid shield had slid back underneath the OWS
solar wing. Solar panels on the Apollo Telescope Mount extend out at the
top center.
