SKYLAB II

El parche simboliza los objetivos principales del vuelo. La figura central, adaptado de Leonardo Vinci, ilustra las proporciones de la forma humana y sugiere los muchos estudios de hombre que él mismo ser conducido en el ambiente de la gravedad de cero del espacio. Este dibujo se sobrepone en dos hemisferios que representan las dos áreas principales de investigación - los estudios del Sol y el desarrollo de técnicas para la inspección de los recursos de la Tierra.




This is the emblem for the second manned Skylab mission. It will be a mission of up to 56 days. The patch symbolizes the main objectives of the flight. The central figure, adapted from one by Leonardo da Vinci, illustrates the proportions of the human form and suggests the many studies of man himself to be conducted in the zero-gravity environment of space. This drawing is superimposed on two hemispheres representing the two additional main areas of research - studies of the Sun and the development of techniques for survey of the Earth's resources. The left hemisphere show the Sun as it will be seen in the red light radiated by hydrogen atoms in the solar atmosphere. The right hemisphere is intended to suggest the studies of Earth resources to be conducted on Skylab. Although the patch denotes this mission as Skylab II, it is actually consided to be the Skylab III mission.
