Skylab

A close-up view of the Skylab space station cluster photographed against the Earth from the Skylab 3 command module during the "fly around" inspection prior to docking. Skylab 3 was the second crewed mission of the program. Note the one solar array system wing on the Orbital Workshop (OWS) which was successfully deployed during EVA on the first Skylab crew. The primary docking part at the forward end of the Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA) is visible below the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM).
