The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Skylab Program is a three-man Earth orbit station being developed for launch in late 1972 to gain a better understanding of the requirements for a permanent man-made platform in space. Major components of the Skylab include the Saturn Workshop; Airlock Module (AM); Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA); Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM). This artist's concept gives an idea of the survey and photographic capabilities of Skylab.
