The objective of the development of Skylab was:
- To prove humans can work in space for extended periods.
Skylab was the United States' first space station that orbited Earth from 1973 to 1979. Its primary purpose was to conduct scientific experiments and studies to understand how humans could live and work in space for prolonged durations. Skylab provided valuable insights into the effects of extended space missions on the human body and mind, paving the way for future space exploration endeavors such as the International Space Station (ISS).
