Description

Scarce NASA model of Skylab

Vintage 1:96 scale model of Skylab designed by the Graphic Engineering and Models Division at the George C. Marshall Space Center. The model measures approximately 11.5 x 15 x 5 with added solar panels, and is set on a 5 x 5 wooden base bearing Marshall and NASA plates, the latter reading: "Property of U.S. Govt. Manned Spacecraft Center, 94707." Bottom of base bears a metal label: "MSFC 76902." The model is attractively labeled throughout, and features a cut-section that shows interior floors of Skylab. In very good to fine condition, with expected wear from use and storage; the model is missing solar array wing no. 1 and one panel for system wing 2; and the L band antenna is detached but present. From the personal collection of Charlie Dry, a former Apollo test astronaut and research engineer and senior scientific analyst at NASA. An extremely detailed model of America's famous first space station.
