Astronaut William R. Pogue, pilot of the Skylab 4 mission, relaxes during spacesuit pressure and fit checks at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. This shoulder and head shot of Pogue was taken a few days before the scheduled Skylab 4 launch. This third and last visit to the Skylab space station in Earth orbit returned additional information on the Earth and sun, and provided a favorable location from which to observe Comet Kohoutek. The other two members of the Skylab 4 crew are astronaut Gerald P. Carr, commander; and scientist-astronaut Edward G. Gibson, science pilot.
