THE FIRST MANNED SKYLAB CREW FLOWN Skylab I Crew Emblem. An approximately 4-inch diameter, circular cloth patch featuring the earth eclipsing the sun while the Skylab space station is in orbit. The crew names are listed along the bottom curve. NASA/MSC, 1973
The emblem is displayed on a Typed Letter Signed by Charles Conrad which reads in part: "The above patch has "CKW" to the right of the Skylab space station, which are the initials from our last names ... The mission was delayed ten days in order to make plans for repairing the damage that occurred just minutes into the launch of Skylab ... This patch was carried with us during the launch of the SL-2 vehicle on May 25, 1973, and flew in space for 28 days. My crew and I made repairs during that time to enable a full duration mission."
