Title: Artist's concept of Astronauts Kerwin and Conrad repairing solar array wing
Description:
An artist's concept illustrating a scene during the June 7, 1973 Skylab 2 
extravehicular activity (EVA) in Earth orbit when Astronaut Joseph P.
Kerwin  (larger figure) and Charles Conrad Jr. cut the aluminum strapping
which  prevented the Skylab Orbital Workshop solar array system wing from
deploying.  The painting is by artist Paul Fjeld. The action portrayed here
is about two  to four seconds after using the beam erection tether, as the
two crewmen  broke the frozen SAS beam actuators.
