A Martin Marietta artist's concept of the Skylab space station cluster in Earth's orbit. The cluster is composed of the Apollo Command/Service Module, Orbital Workshop, Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM), Multiple Docking Adapter, and Airlock Module. In this concept, a member of the three-man astronaut crew is working atop the ATM in the zero-gravity of space. Note the arrays of solar cell panels which turn sunlight into electric power for the space station.
