Title: Skylab 4 crewmen passing trash bags in to the OWS waste disposal tank
Description:
Two Skylab 4 crewmen are seen passing trash bags through the trash airlock
of the Orbital Workshop (OWS) of the Skylab space station in Earth orbit.
The trash airlock leads to the OWS waste disposal tank. Astronaut William
R. Pogue, Skylab 4 pilot, holds onto the OWS crew quarters ceiling as he
prepares to jump onto the OWS airlock hatch cover to force another trash
bag further down into the airlock. Astronaut Gerald P. Carr, Skylab 4
commander, is assisting. Carr is holding onto the trash bags. A third
trash bag is floating in the zero-gravity environment near Pogue's right
leg. The wardroom can be seen behind Pogue.
