Title: Flight controllers discuss procedures for repair of coolant system in Skylab
Description:
The procedures for repairing the coolant system aboard the Airlock Module
of  the Skylab space station in Earth orbit are discussed by flight
controllers  in the Mission Operations Control Room in the Mission Control
Center at JSC.  Skylab 4 Flight Director Neil Hutchinson is on the right.
Astronaut Russell  L. Schweickart is wearing the sports shirt. Astronaut
Bruce McCandless II, a  Skylab 4 CAPCOM, is seated next to Schweickart.
Items of equipment in the  foreground are similar to components of a
special coolant re-servicing kit  which was taken to Earth orbit by the
Skylab 4 crewmen. The kit consists of a  tank containing 42 pounds of
COOLANOL, a series of saddle valves, bolts and  spacers, and leak-check
hoses. The re-supply tank is a modified command  module reaction control
subsystem (RCS) fuel tank.
