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.
3, 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
VASA for living and working in space on the
nternational Space Station, and our journey to the
Moon, Mars, and beyond.
