Skylab 2 Astronauts Plan Four Hour Space Walk
Two Skylab 2 astronauts Dr Owen K Garriott and Jack R Lousma will conduct a four hour space walk above Earth to install a six pack of gyroscopes and connect cables for the new units while Alan L Bean stays aboard to control the ship if needed. The operation aims to restore balance to the 85 ton station after gyro failures risked tumbling out of control.

U S and foreign airlines expect no immediate fare reductions after a Washington appeals court ruled the Civil Aeronautics Board could not simply extend 1972 trans Atlantic rates. The ruling orders CAB to reopen 1973 fare studies and allows 21 days before action. Weaker economies and talks at an October international conference may shape 1974 rates.
