This is a sketch of Skylab, as drawn by George E. Mueller, NASA associate administrator for Manned Space Flight. This concept drawing was created at a meeting at the Marshall Space Flight Center on August 19, 1966. The image details the station's major elements. In 1970, the station became known as Skylab. Three crewed Skylab missions were flown from mid-1973 to early 1974 on which experiments were conducted in space science, earth resources, life sciences, space technology, and student projects.
