Title: One of the Two Scientific Airlocks on the Orbital Workshop Section
Description:
This close up view of one of the two scientific airlocks on the Skylab 
Orbital Workshop Section was taken from the Skylab 2 Command/Service Module  
during its initial fly around inspection.  The micrometeoroid shield can be 
seen to be missing from this section of the orbital workshop.  A parasol 
solar shield was later devised and put in place over this damaged area 
through this very same airlock opening.
