Skylab 1 - May 14th 1973
For the first time in 51 years we follow the countdown, launch and initial orbits of the Skylab Space Station. Includes some descriptions of the anomalies seen during the launch phase, which resulted in the loss of a solar wing and micrometeorite shield. Also included are:
NASA coverage of the countdown and launch as seen on the day
Stacking in the VAB and Rollout of the last Saturn V
100's of photographs depicting various stages of Skylab development, construction and launch
Audio is from the LCC countdown PAO, the Houston PAO and, after orbital insertion, from the Flight Director Loop.
There are various shots of the launch, many that haven't been seen before now.
