This 'spacestation' was build by Rotterdam-based architects 2012architecten. Their MRS strutures are built entirely with recycled pieces of washing machines and flattened tyres. The differents parts can be modulated and extended. The Miele ruimtestation structure can be used to host a bar, office, music shop or serve as an information kiosk.

S73-33788 (10 June 1973) --- The solar eruption of June 10, 1973, is seen in this spectroheliogram obtained during the first manned Skylab mission (Skylab 2), with the SO82A experiment, an Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) component covering the wavelength region from 150 to 650 angstroms (EUV). The solid disk in the center was produced from 304 angstrom ultraviolet light from He + ions. At the top of this image a great eruption is visible extending more than one-third of a solar radius from the sun's surface. This eruption preceded the formation of an enormous coronal bubble which extended a distance of several radii from the sun's surface, and which was observed with the coronagraph aboard Skylab. In contrast, the Fe XV image at 285 angstrom just to the right of the 304 angstrom image does not show this event. Instead, it shows the bright emission from a magnetic region in the lower corona. In this picture, solar north is to the right, and east is up. The wavelength scale increases to the left. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is principal investigator in charge of the SO82 experiment. Photo credit: NASA
S73-20622 (March 1973) --- Scientist-astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, science pilot of the first manned Skylab mission, demonstrates the Body Mass Measurement Experiment (M172) during Skylab training at the Johnson Space Center. Dr. Kerwin is in the work and experiments area of the crew quarters of the Skylab Orbital Workshop (OWS) trainer at JSC. The M172 experiment will demonstrate body mass measurement in a null gravity environment, validate theoretical behavior of this method, and support those medical experiments for which body mass measurements are required. The data to be collected in support of M172 are: preflight calibration of the body mass measurement device and measurements of known masses up to 100 kilograms (220 pounds) three times during each Skylab mission. The device, a spring/flexure pivot-mounted chair, will also be used for daily determination of the crewmen's weight, which will be manually logged and voice recorded for subsequent telemetered transmission.

Hangar Bay with Janeway-type transport.
The Janeway type transport is a small ship used by Earth force an civillians a like. It is cheap and easy to build. If a transporter should be lost it can be easily replaced in no time - just as if it was never gone...

SL2-05-102 (June 1973) --- A black and white photograph of the San Francisco Bay California area, taken from the Skylab 1-2 space station cluster in Earth orbit. THE PICTURE SHOULD BE HELD WITH THE CLOUDS AND PACIFIC OCEAN ON THE LEFT. This photograph was taken by one of six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the space station. Note the thickly populated and highly developed area around the Bay. Among the cities visible in this photograph are San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and San Jose. This view extends eastward to show a portion of the San Joaquin Valley. The S190-A experiment is part of the Skylab Earth Resources Experiments Package (EREP). Type SO-022 film was used. This station covered the spectral region from 0.6 to .07 micrometers. Photo credit: NASA
I sent in a couple photos of the international space station to the backup weatherman at Local 4, Andrew Humphrey. He's just as indecisive as I am, so he aired both. :-)

S73-24369 (17 April 1973) --- The three members of the prime crew of the first manned Skylab mission discuss their scheduled flight before a gathering of news media representatives, in building 1 auditorium, April 17, 1973. They are (left to right) astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., commander; Paul J. Weitz, pilot; and scientist Joseph P. Kerwin, science-pilot. Skylab is a three-part program consisting of one 28-day; and two 56-day manned visits spanning an eight-month period. One day prior to the launch of this crew, the unmanned Skylab Space Station cluster will be launched and placed in Earth orbit. The first manned mission will last up to 28 days. Photo credit: NASA
angled view of 2 of the pieces - the light is shone into the glass side and thus also comes out the glass edges :)

Puddy's console in the Mission Operations Control Room in the Mission Control Center at JSC during consideration of the problem of the undeployed solar panels on the Skylab 1 Orbital Workshop.

S73-27259 (1 June 1973) --- Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., Skylab 2 commander, demonstrates weightless and ease of motion as he tumbles from the forward compartment of the Orbital Workshop of the Skylab 1 & 2 space station cluster in earth orbit, as seen in this reproduction taken from a color television transmission made by a TV camera aboard the space station.

S73-36162 (November 1973) --- Dr. Robert S. Clark changes magnetic tape on the Radiation Counting Laboratory's mini-computer. The computer calculates the total content of radioactive isotopes in the lunar materials. Some 120 different samples from the six landings on the moon have been studied by the lab's gamma spectrometer, which generates 65,000 individual data points of each sample. Measurements of radioactive isotopes reveal how long they have been near the surface, and also reflect how much the rocks have been eroded by micrometeorites. Photo credit: NASA

S73-36161 (November 1973) --- In the Radiation Counting Laboratory sixty feet underground at JSC, Dr. Robert S. Clark prepares to load pieces of iridium foil -- sandwiched between plastic sheets -- into the laboratory's radiation detector. The iridium foil strips were worn by the crew of the second Skylab flight in personal radiation dosimeters throughout their 59 1/2 days in space. Inside the radiation detector assembly surrounded by 28 tons of lead shielding, the sample will be tested to determine the total neutron dose to which the astronauts were exposed during their long stay aboard the space station.

"Docking to these ancient space stations was always very tricky business, I felt lucky sitting in the co-pilot's seat on this flight"
The International Space Station passes over ancient tufa structures at Mono Lake in East Central California. I count a good dozen additional satellites up in the sky along with it.
This is a composite of several consecutive shots taken as the station passed overhead. Data from adjacent shots has been used to fill in gaps between individual exposures, creating a continuous arc. The finished image is a blend of foreground and sky taken at different exposure durations.
Captured during a Great Basin School of Photography workshop.
