Astronaut Jack Lousma, Skylab Sunshade Deployment (NASA Archive, 07/14/73)
Astronaut Jack Lousma surveys the damage from an incredible vantage point -- Earth and Skylab are reflected in the gold-coated visor of Astronaut Jack Lousma during a spacewalk in which he and fellow Skylab 3 crewman Owen Garriott deployed the second sunshade. The sunshade was created by team members at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. to replace the micrometeoroid shield, a thin protective cylinder surrounding the workshop protecting it from tiny space particles and the sun's scorching heat.
