America’s first space station was launched unmanned on May 14, 1973 as part of the Apollo program. Over the next ten months three manned missions (Skylab 2, 3, & 4) occurred with Skylab 4 ending on February 8, 1974.

By using the"dry” third stage of a Saturn V rocket, the station was completely outfitted as a workshop prior to launch. Designed for long duration mission, Skylab program objectives were twofold: To prove that humans could live and work in space for extended periods, and to expand our knowledge of solar astronomy well beyond Earth-based observations.

1:10 Scale Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME)

> Small (100 x 75, 72 ppi)

Developed in the 1970s by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., the Space Shuttle Main Engine is the world's most sophisticated reusable rocket engine. Each SSME is 14 feet (4.2 meters) long, weighing approximately 7,000 pounds (3,150 kilograms) and is 7.5 feet (2.25 meters) in diameter at the end of its nozzle. The engines operate for about eight-and-one-half minutes during liftoff and ascent -- long enough to burn more than 500,000 gallons (1.9 million liters) of super-cold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants stored in the huge external tank attached to the underside of the Shuttle.

1:10 Scale F-1 Engine

> Large (955 x 1360, 300 ppi)
> Medium (720 x 1025, 72 ppi)
> Small (100 x 75, 72 ppi)

The F-1 is the largest liquid-fueled rocket engine ever designed. The design originated in the 1950's, with an Air Force study. When NASA was formed, it matured the design program and used the engine in the Saturn rocket family.

1:10 Scale H-2 Engine

1:10 Scale J-2 Engine

> Medium (720 x 1047, 72 ppi)
> Small (100 x 75, 72 ppi)

The J-2, a high-performance, upper stage propulsion system, used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants for a maximum thrust of 225,000 pounds. It was the first manned booster engine to use liquid hydrogen as a propellant and the first large booster engine designed to be restarted multiple times during a mission. It was used for both the second and third stages of the Saturn V moon. A modified J-2 engine later was used to demonstrate principles that lead to the development of Rocketdyne's Space Shuttle Main Engine.
