Unbelievable, madness! Sorry, but I'm speechless. The video has a perspective never seen before. And with the right to identify the main components. The biggest contribution I've seen about Skylab. And all this accomplished in a short time. Congratulations.
One of the things that intrigues me the most is the courage of the astronauts in these modules and spacecraft. Something unique, relatively untested and tried mostly in the 70's. It is different, for example, the chance of something going wrong in an airplane, which are manufactured by the thousands and therefore very tested. In addition, planes fly over places that are less inhospitable to human life than spacecraft. Quality control and training must be high for space missions. A simple pressurization problem, meteorite, fire, mechanical failures, can be fatal in these environments. Not to mention the dangers related to launching and health adaptations. The APOLLO program for me is something unimaginable of possibilities for something to go wrong. I'm curious and I admire space adventures a lot, but I certainly would never want to be in the shoes of astronauts.
Thanks...my daughter helped me pick those 2 songs. If you get a chance, please take a look at the other Skylab videos and let me know what you thought about the sound tracks on those.
For me, watching the video with the subtitles has been pleasant, something unusual. There must have been a lot of work going into the production of the video and research of the Skylab components shown.
Since I build the model one component at a time, I get intimately familiar with the parts. It was not that big of a deal to overlay the floating text. But it took me a little while to figure out how I wanted to do it. If you look in the description to the video, I also lay out additional details of what most of that equipment is.
Thanks again for the technical information. Because they are difficult to obtain and important to understand how survival happens. Would you like to know about the drinking water where it is stored? Is there potable water at the station? Sorry for the many doubts, it's just that I get excited to see this excellent work.
Skylab was launched with all the required food, water, and clothing for all 3 crews. On the second floor next to the dome is a series of ring lockers which is where I am sure that George Lucas got the idea for the round passage ways in the Millennium Falcon. Right below the ring lockers are 10 large cylinders that hold water. There is a spare cylinder attached to the dome. And there is a smaller portable cylinder below the ring of cylinders.
Where are the breathable oxygen tanks? Would you know how to identify the main equipment that guarantees the survival of astronauts? What about nitrogen tanks? Is nitrogen reused? How CO2 is eliminated ?
The oxygen tanks and nitrogen spheres that are marked in this video (all around the airlock) are used for breathing a mixed gas (nitrogen/oxygen) atmosphere. In the real Skylab, there is a thermal blanket that covers this section. I left if off so you could see it. In the beginning of the video, there are a series of nitrogen tanks at the bottom of the spacecraft underneath the gold thermal blanket that are uses for the nitrogen gas thrusters called TACS. In my videos showing the internal views, you can see smaller gold colored spheres (3 in a rack on the 2nd floor and one in its recharge station in the bottom of the airlock). These spheres can get recharged from the external spheres and are used to power the 2 manned maneuvering units located on the second floor. CO2 and odors are removed by the molecular sieve system that is located in the structural transition section (STS). When a crew got done with their stay, part of their close out procedures was to turn the molecular sieve off and put it into the bake position (rejuvenates it for the next visit). And while they are doing that, they rely on pumping air through the command module lithium hydroxide canisters.
Agree, probably George Lucas was inspired by Skylab. Water replacement was not foreseen, so it makes it difficult for humans to stay in Skylab beyond the scheduled time. The ISS is different, there is water replacement. I don't know if I'm right, but in the Apollo program, part of the water and electricity was obtained by combining stored hydrogen and oxygen. I don't know why Skylab's designers didn't.
Skylab was only meant for the 3 missions, so they did not need to haul up water like ISS. Skylab did not need to waste oxygen nor carry hydrogen to make water since they had plenty of lift capacity for the water. And they had plenty of solar cells (even missing one wing) for electricity.

Thanks! Comments like that make me want to create more!

Really enjoyed the sound track.

This is great
Thanks for watching and your comment. I have multiple internal Skylab animations also.
