This document, reprinted for reference only, appears as originally issued by NASA. The Official Flight Kit (OFK) contained selected multiple items such as flags, patches, medallions and other memorabilia to be presented to government officials, members of the Congress and others who received such gifts as a result of individual contributions to the space program as determined by the then-NASA Administrator.

Skylab 1 (SL-2) marked the first manned mission to the United States' first space station. Charles Conrad, Paul Weitz and Joseph Kerwin were in space for 28 days.

This document was researched and scanned for inclusion on collectSPACE by Bernie Hogya (www.ApolloFan.com).
