Skylab was America’s first space station and first crewed research laboratory in space. Built out of the final stage of a Saturn V rocket, astronauts aboard the station conducted 270 experiments in biomedical and life sciences, Earth observations, solar astronomy, and materials processing. The Skylab 1-G trainer used by astronauts to prepare for life aboard Skylab was so large that Space Center Houston had to be built around the trainer. 🤯 Head to the link in our bio to explore the Skylab train
