Honoring the 50th Anniversary of NASA's Skylab: America's First Space Station

America's first space station and the first crewed
research laboratory in space, Skylab, lifted off on May
14, 1973.
Skylab helped pave the way for permanent operations
in low-Earth orbit. Over the course of its human
occupation from May 25, 1973, to Feb. 8, 1974, three
crews visited Skylab, carrying out 270 scientific and
technical investigations in astronauts' physiological
responses to long-duration space flight, Earth
sciences, solar physics, and astronomy.
The research conducted on Skylab helped prepare
NASA for living and working in space on the
International Space Station, and our journey to the
Moon, Mars, and beyond
