SkyLab IV - INFLIGHT

S74-17457 (3 Feb. 1974) --- This view of the SkyLab 4 Command/Service Module in a docked configuration is a frame from a roll of movie film exposed by a 16mm Maurer camera. The other four components of the SkyLab space station in Earth orbit are out of view to the right. This picture was taken by astronaut Gerald P. Carr, SkyLab 4 commander, during the final SkyLab extravehicular activity (EVA) which took place on Feb. 3, 1974. The crew members -- Gerald Carr, Edward Gibson and William Pogue -- were the first NASA astronauts to spend New Year's in space. A week earlier, they became the first crew to perform an EVA on Christmas day. Photo credit: NASA
