Skylab 2 may end early due to propulsion issue in orbit
NASA officials consider returning Skylab 2 astronauts earlier than planned as the command ship propulsion system shows leaks and partial failure. Mission Control says crew safety is not at risk, with options including a rapid Hawaiian splashdown or waiting to study the oxidizer problem. A rescue from Saturn 1B for Skylab 3 could be prepared if needed.
