Skylab will launch in 1973 with a house sized lab and a complete medical suite. Three three man crews will total 20 weeks in eight months, each staying four to eight weeks. A physician is on the first crew, Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin, with ground support to address medical needs. The plan includes monitoring equipment to study physiology in weightlessness and on board drugs to treat common illnesses and injuries. If serious issues arise, crews will stabilize and bring the patient home, with on board telemetry and a tele slow camera aiding diagnosis.
