Amaya Toman Engxenyeni yanamuhla yochungechunge lwethu oluvamile oluthi Buyela Ezikhathini Ezidlule, kulokhu sizokhumbula isenzakalo esihlobene nokutholwa kwendawo. Lokhu ukwethulwa kwesiteshi sasemkhathini i-Skylab, esangena emzileni ngoMeyi 14, 1973. Isiteshi sase-Skylab sethulwa ku-orbit sisebenzisa i-rocket ye-Saturn 5.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
I-Skylab Space Station Heads For Orbit (1973)
NgoMeyi 14, 1973, i-Skylab One (Skylab 1) yasuka eCape Canaveral. Kubandakanya ukubeka isiteshi se-Skylab ku-orbit ngokuguqulwa kwezigaba ezimbili kwenkampani yenethiwekhi ye-Saturn 5 Ngemva kokwethulwa, isiteshi saqala ukuba nezinkinga eziningi, okuhlanganisa ukunyuka kwezinga lokushisa kwangaphakathi ngokweqile noma ukuvulwa okunganele kwamaphaneli elanga, ngakho-ke uhlelo lwe-solar. indiza yokuqala eya e-Skylab yayikhathazeke kakhulu ngokulungisa iziphambeko ezinikeziwe. Isiteshi sasemkhathini sase-U.S. i-Skylab sagcina sizungeza iplanethi enguMhlaba iminyaka eyisithupha futhi sasiphethwe ithimba losonkanyezi abaningi baseMelika. Eminyakeni 1973 - 1974, isamba sabasebenzi abathathu sahlala e-Skylab, kanti ubude bokuhlala kwabo kwakuyizinsuku ezingama-28, 59 kanye nezinsuku ezingama-84. Isiteshi sasemkhathini sadalwa ngokulungisa isigaba sesithathu serokhethi i-S-IVB iSaturn 5, isisindo saso ku-orbit sasingamakhilogremu angama-86. Ubude besiteshi sase-Skylab babungamamitha angamashumi amathathu nesithupha, ingaphakathi lakhiwe isakhiwo esinezitezi ezimbili esisebenzela umsebenzi kanye nezindawo zokulala zezisebenzi ngazinye.
