Summary
| Description | This is the largest recovered piece of the Skylab Space Station that plunged to the Earth in 1979. This fragment is one of six identical air tanks that were aboard the orbiting laboratory to supply oxygen to the crew. The oxygen tank was recovered in Australia by two men who witnessed its re-entry on wee hours of 12 July 1979. They found the tank and other small debris about 24 kilometres (15 miles) southwest of the small mining town of Rawlina. Before it crashed the tank was 2.4 metres long (8 ft), 1.2 metres (4 ft) in diameter and weighted 1,270 kilograms (2,800 pounds) empty. On loan from KARA international of Australia. Photo taken at US Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, Alabama. |
