SL2-03-126 (June 1973) --- A color infrared photograph of the Los Angeles County and Kern County area, taken from the SkyLab space station in Earth orbit during its first manned SkyLab mission. The Mojave Desert occupies the northeast one-fourth of the photograph. Lake Isabella in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is the v-shaped body of water. The San Gabriel Mountains extend across the southern part of the picture. At lower center is the intersection of the San Andreas and Garlock faults. The San Joaquin Valley is in the center at the left edge. (The picture should be held with the heavy cloud cover at lower right corner so that north will be at top.) This picture was exposed by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the SkyLab space station. Type 2443 film was used. Photo credit: NASA
