NASA Skylab Schematic Chart

Skylab was the United States’ first space station, launched in 1973 aboard a modified Saturn V rocket. Roughly the size of a small house, it weighed 77 metric tons and orbited Earth for six years. Skylab hosted three astronaut crews between 1973 and 1974, who lived and worked in space for record-setting durations of up to 84 days. Inside, astronauts studied solar activity, Earth’s weather, and the effects of long-term weightlessness on the human body. Though it reentered Earth’s atmosphere in 1979, Skylab proved humans could live and work in orbit—paving the way for today’s International Space Station.
