Conrad Named World’s Champion Astronaut and Space Walk Decision
Skylab 1 commander Charles Conrad Jr. is named world’s champion astronaut and will decide this week whether he or crewmate Kerwin or Weitz attempts the space walk to free the jammed power wing. Ground crews have proposed methods and tools to cut the stuck strap, as power shortages prompt considerations to extend Skylab 1 beyond 28 days and possibly bring in solar arrays from Skylab 2 or 3. A Sunday photo mission surveyed a 42 mile coastal strip for geological data, potentially revealing oil and coal deposits in Chihuahua Mexico.
