Skylab III astronauts performed addition repairs to the ailing station. Comprehensive medical research was continued during this mission where the effects of extended flight on physiological adaptation could be examined. In-flight photographs taken from Skylab II revealed “puffy face syndrome” which prompted Skylab III to perform more tests and collect more data on fluid distribution and balance in the human body.
