In 1979 it fell back to Earth amid huge worldwide media attention. Skylab included a workshop, a solar observatory, and other systems necessary for crew survival and scientific experiments. It was launched unmanned by a modified Saturn V rocket, with a weight of 170,000 pounds (77,000 kg). Lifting Skylab into low earth orbit was the final mission and launch of a Saturn V rocket (famous for carrying the manned Moon landing missions). Three missions delivered three-astronaut crews in the Apollo command and service module (Apollo CSM), launched by the smaller Saturn IB rocket. For the final two manned missions to Skylab, a backup Apollo CSM/Saturn IB was assembled and made ready in case an in-orbit rescue mission was needed, but this backup vehicle was never flown.", "orbit": "Low Earth Orbit", "owners": [ { "id": 44, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/agencies/44/?format=api", "name": "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", "abbrev": "NASA" } ], "active_expeditions": [], "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/skylab_image_20190215230143.jpeg" }, { "id": 13, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/spacestation/13/?format=api", "name": "Salyut 5", "status": { "id": 2, "name": "De-Orbited" }, "type": { "id": 2, "name": "Government" }, "founded": "1976-06-22", "deorbited": "1988-08-08", "description": "Salyut 5, also known as OPS-3, was a Soviet space station.

Due to the military nature of the station, the Soviet Union was reluctant to release information about its design, and about the missions relating to the station.\r\n\r\nIt attained an altitude of 219 to 270 km on launch and NASA reported its final orbital altitude was 268 to 272 km.

The last pressurised module was fitted in 2011, and an experimental inflatable space habitat was added in 2016. The station is expected to operate until 2030. Development and assembly of the station continues, with several new elements scheduled for launch in 2019. The ISS is the largest human-made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth. The ISS consists of pressurised habitation modules, structural trusses, solar arrays, radiators, docking ports, experiment bays and robotic arms.
