Simulating Skylab: Skylab Medical Experiments and Altitude Test (SMEAT), 1972-2022, A 50th Anniversary Celebration

For the first time, we have written down the experiences of the NASA astronauts during the Skylab Medical Experiments Test, or SMEAT. This grueling 56-day space station simulation paved the way for the year-long Skylab mission in 1973-1974 that saw the horizons of human space exploration expand radically.

This carefully researched, beautiful volume contains stories rarely told, and images never seen before in this format, many of them for the first time in color.
