SIV-B second stage of the Saturn IB booster that took the Skylab III crew of Bean, Garriott and Lousma into orbit on this day in 1973.
This stage is the same (with minor differences) as the third stage of the Saturn V. On moon missions, the Lunar Module would ride inside the adapter section, inside the open petals. On Skylab flights, the adapter was empty.

Within just over a year, I had I won the London Music Award for ‘Best Undiscovered Talent,’ The Guardian’s ‘Future Music Award’ and released my first independent single, ‘Follow You Home.’īRIT was such a unique experience. I spent four years studying music alongside regularly gigging, performing or recording after school and on weekends. The following year I was lucky enough to be accepted to The BRIT School. But crucially, I found the self-confidence that I needed to continue. Not only because I went on to win the contest that year, but I also met lots of other talented musicians, many of whom I still work with regularly to this day. It was all very new to me and I’m so glad I took part. This was the first time I had ever performed my original music outside of school concerts, and there I was, playing to the streets of London. Nine years ago, I entered a performance contest in London called GIGS: Big Busk.

As I was only 11 years old at the time, the songs were mostly about movie stars I admired, but I knew then that I wanted to continue writing songs and develop my music.Īt just 22, you've achieved a lot of success. I switched to an acoustic guitar and began to write my own songs. I remember the very first time I heard Taylor Swift – I was in complete awe of her ability to narrate through lyric and song.

Feb. 8 (UPI) -- On this date in history:
In 1587, Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded, charged with conspiring to kill England's Queen Elizabeth I.
In 1692, a doctor in Massachusetts Bay Colony said two village girls were possibly bewitched, a charge that set off the Salem witch trials.
In 1693, the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., was granted a charter by Britain's King William III.
In 1725, Peter the Great, emperor of Russia, died and was succeeded by his wife, Catherine.
In 1915, D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, a landmark in the history of cinema and the first American full-length motion picture, opened in Los Angeles and was immediately a smash hit though many found its treatment of race offensive.
In 1933, two British Royal Air Force pilots landed at Walvis Bay, 800 miles north of Cape Town, South Africa, setting a non-stop flight record after traveling 5,175 miles from England.
In 1960, groundbreaking got underway for the first plaques installed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which honored Olive Borden, Ronald Colman, Louise Fazenda, Preston Foster, Burt Lancaster, Edward Sedgwick, Ernest Torrence and Joanne Woodward.
In 1974, three U.S. Skylab astronauts ended an 84-day orbital flight.
Tumblr media
In 1983, a group of gunmen stole one the world's most valuable racehorses, Shergar, from a stud farm in Ireland. The kidnappers demanded a $3.1 million ransom, but negotiations proved fruitless and the horse was never seen again.
In 1993, at least 132 people were killed when a Russian-made Tupolev jetliner flying for Iran Air Tours collided with a Sukhoi military aircraft near Tehran.
In 2002, the Olympic Winter Games opened in Salt Lake City.
In 2007, Anna Nicole Smith, a 39-year-old actor, model and tabloid fixture, was found dead in a Hollywood, Fla., hotel. Her death was attributed to accidental sedative overdose.
In 2021, health officials in South Africa paused the country's rollout of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine after a study showed it was not as effective against a variant of the coronavirus first reported there.

From Apollo to Commercial Crew: Get To Know Historic Launch Pad 39A
Originally built for the massive Saturn V rockets that sent astronauts on Apollo missions to the Moon, Launch Complex 39A also served as one of the two launch pads used by the space shuttle. Between Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz and the space shuttle, this launch pad has been the starting point for many of the nation’s most challenging and inspiring missions.
Tumblr media
In 2014, SpaceX signed a property agreement with NASA for use and operation of the launch complex for 20 years, and the company modified the facility to prepare for the processing and launch of its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.
Tumblr media
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the company’s Crew Dragon on its Demo-2 flight test to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will lift off from the same historic site where astronauts first launched to the moon. Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida is also the site of dozens of space shuttle launches that helped build the orbital laboratory.
Launch Complexes 39A and B were constructed in the 1960s. Both launch pads have a long history of supporting launches for the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs. Launch Pad 39A was the launch site for 11 Saturn V Apollo missions, including Apollo 11, the first Moon landing. The pad also was the launch site for 82 space shuttle missions, including STS-1, the first shuttle launch, the STS-125 final servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope, and STS-135, the final shuttle mission.
Tumblr media
After the space shuttle was retired in 2011, we began the process to transform Kennedy Space Center from a historically government-only launch facility into a multi-user spaceport for both government and commercial use. On April 14, 2014, the agency signed a property agreement with SpaceX for use of the launch site for the next 20 years.
Tumblr media
SpaceX upgraded and modified the launch pad to support its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. The company also built a horizontal processing hangar at the base of the pad to perform final vehicle integration prior to flight. The first SpaceX launch from the pad was the company’s 10th commercial resupply services (CRS-10) mission for us. A SpaceX Falcon 9 launched a Dragon cargo spacecraft on CRS-10 on Feb. 19, 2017. The Dragon delivered about 5,500 pounds of supplies to the space station, including the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) III instrument to further study ozone in the Earth’s atmosphere. Combined with SpaceX, we’ve launched more than 100 missions from Pad 39A.
Tumblr media
Because of our partnership with SpaceX within our agency’s Commercial Crew Program, Launch Complex 39A will once again be the site of crewed missions to the space station.
🚀 TUNE IN starting at 12:15 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 27 as NASA and SpaceX launch astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space Station aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft: www.nasa.gov.live.

"Skylab as the SL-III CM moves in for docking.
A close-up view of the Skylab space station photographed against an Earth background from the Skylab 3 Command and Service Modules (CSM) during station-keeping maneuvers prior to docking. Aboard the Command Module (CM) were astronauts Alan L. Bean, Owen K. Garriott and Jack R. Lousma, who remained with the Skylab Space Station in Earth orbit for 59 days. This picture was taken with a hand-held 70mm Hasselblad camera using a 100mm lens and SO-368 medium speed Ektachrome film. Note the one solar array system wing on the Orbital Workshop (OWS) which was successfully deployed during extravehicular activity (EVA) on the first manned Skylab flight. The parasol solar shield which was deployed by the Skylab 2 crew can be seen through the support struts of the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM)."

30 years ago... Last EVA Omega "Alaska III" Speedmaster September 1993, after a decade of spacewalk usage of the 4750 spacesuit glove series with sewn-in integrated Omega Speedmaster in the righthand glove, NASA started to use the Phase VI series gloves and NASA astronauts no longer wore a Speedmaster during EVA - spacewalks! During the 6th spaceshuttle flight, the 1st for "Challenger", NASA astronauts performed the first EVA - spacewalk wearing an Omega Speedmaster since the Skylab days of 1974! On this 4 hours long EVA, both Story Musgrave and Donald Peterson wore an Omega Alaska III "Radial Dial" Speedmaster chronograph, which was sewn-in the outer layer of their righthand spacesuit glove. This kind of spacesuit gloves was used for ten years, up to STS-51 “Discovery” in September 1993. From then on, NASA astronauts didn't wear the Speedmaster any longer for EVAs, but the Russian cosmonauts did, strapped over their Orlan spacesuits until 2022. Overall, the radial dial Speedmaster was worn in space between November 1981 (STS-2) and October 1995 (STS-73). Photos show NASA astronaut Story Musgrave in the cargo bay of orbiter “Challenger” wearing the EMU - Extravehicular Mobility Unit, with the Speedmaster sewn-in the extra pocket of the righthand glove’s outer TMG - Thermal Micrometeor Garment layer.

Space history for Sunday.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On this day in 1973, Skylab III astronauts Owen K. Garriott (top. Get a shave, dude!) and Jack R. Lousma deployed the "twin pole" solar shield to help shade the Orbital Workshop.
Tumblr media
The solar shield built onto the workshop was torn off during launch and temperature inside the lab skyrocketed (if you will) to between 130°F to 150°F. The Skylab II crew installed the "parasol" sunshade that could be deployed from inside the spacecraft without an EVA. The "twin pole" shade augmented the "parasol" and brought temperatures down to the normal expected levels.
