Gemini spacecraft No. 7 in final shakedown in the cleanroom at the McDonnell factory in Lambert Field, St. Louis, Missouri.

"This photograph, taken during the assembly of the Flight Article of the Skylab Airlock Module (AM) at McDornell Douglas in St. Louis, Missouri, shows the truss assembly. The AM enabled crew members to conduct extravehicular activities outside Skylab as required for experiment support. Separated from the Workshop and the Multiple Docking Adapter by doors, the AM could be evacuated for egress or ingress of a space-suited astronaut through a side hatch. Oxygen and nitrogen storage tanks needed for Skylab's life support system were mounted on the external truss work of the AM. Major components in the AM included Skylab's electric power control and distribution station, environmental control system, communication system, and data handling and recording systems. The Marshall Space Flight Center was responsible for the design and development of the Skylab hardware and experiment management."
