Title: Deployment of "Parasol" solar shield
Description:
The deployment of the "Parasol" solar shield, a sunshade to help cool the 
overheated Orbital Workshop of the Skylab 1 space station cluster in Earth 
orbit, can be seen in the reproduction taken from a color television 
transmission made by a TV camera aboard the space station. The camera is in 
the Command Module; and the view is looking through the truss of the Apollo 
Telescope Mount. The sunshade is only partially deployed in this picture.
