Skylab 3 crew (L-R): Owen Garriott, Jack Lousma, Alan Bean
Astronauts Alan L. Bean, Science Pilot (and Oklahoman) Owen K. Garriott and Pilot Jack R. Lousma blasted off July 28, 1973 in Skylab 3, the second manned mission to the U.S. space station. Their mission time was 59 days and 11 hours. NASA extended the mission from one to two months so the effects of flight duration on physiological adaption and readaptation could be examined.
