Author	Topic: Skylab: Third sunshade (parasol, sail and ?)
jasonelam Member Posts: 691 From: Monticello, KY USA Registered: Mar 2007	posted 11-16-2016 09:10 AM Been reading "Homesteading Space" and have a question about the sunshades that were launched on Skylab 2. I noticed that there were several mentions of three sunshades launched, but I could only think of the Kinzler Parasol and the "Marshall Sail." What was third design? How would it have been deployed and why wasn't it used?
