Additional Description

Abstract

There is a description of the photo on the back: "Skylab 1-2 On-Board Photo--This excellent view of the Skylab 1 space station cluster in Earth orbit was taken from the Skylab 2 Command/Servive Module during the final "fly around" inspection of the CSM. Clouds over water are in the background. Note the deployed parasol solar shield which shades the Orbital Workshop where the micrometeroid shield is missing. The one remaining OWS solar array system wing has been fully deployed successfully. The OWS solar panel on the opposite side is completely missing."
