Ultraviolet Stellar Astronomy - Skylab Experiment S019 - NASA, 1973, UV, HD Remaster

Restored NASA documentary from 1973 about Skylab Experiment S019 - Ultraviolet Stellar Astronomy - presented by Dr. Karl G. Henize.
The video was remasted to improve color balance and stability. AI upscale (Topaz AI) was used to resample the video to full HD resolution. While it works in most cases, some artifacts are present in some sequences.
Sound and image cleanup, AI upscale and color restoration by RetroSpace HD.
Skylab was the United States' first space station, launched by NASA, occupied for about 24 weeks between May 1973 and February 1974. It was operated by three trios of astronaut crews: Skylab 2, Skylab 3, and Skylab 4. Operations included an orbital workshop, a solar observatory, Earth observation and hundreds of experiments. Ultraviolet stellar spectra in the wavelength region from 1300 to 5000 A (130 to 500) were photographed during the three manned Skylab missions using a 15 cm aperture objective-prism telescope.

Regrettably, Karl Henize (Flew on STS-51F) suffered and died in his sleep of high altitude pulmonary edema while climbing Mt. Everest, and he was buried at Mt. Everest at Changst Glacier. He was survived by his wife Caroline and his four children.

Thanks as always for posting these! Here’s some interesting time perspective… looking back to 1973 now in 2024 is like looking back to 1922 in 1973.
