Lunar lab to shield Skylab crew on return mission
The Lunar Receiving Laboratory will quarantine Skylab astronauts on their return next year. Dr. Willard Hawkins says 21 days of semi isolation at the LRL will prevent possible illness as astronauts reintegrate after 28 or 56 day stays in orbit. The practice mirrors the moon mission quarantine that found no alien germs.
