One such concept was International Skylab, which proposed launching the backup Skylab B space station for a mission that would see multiple visits by both Apollo and Soyuz crew vehicles. [16] More ambitious was the Skylab-Salyut Space Laboratory, which proposed docking the Skylab B to a Soviet Salyut space station.
[1] [2] MET was formerly called Ground Elapsed Time (GET) prior to the Space Shuttle.

Weitz on Skylab 2, the first crewed mission. [85] He said, "It took a fair amount longer to use than you might expect, but you come out smelling ...
The space station is whizzing around Earth at about five miles per second (18,000 mph), according to NASA. That means time moves slower for the astronauts relative to people on the surface. Now ...
Stranded crew say they are confident they will be able to get home safely on troubled spacecraft
Astronauts at the International Space Station will move a SpaceX Dragon to a new port to make way for an uncrewed spacecraft on a resupply mission.
The time zone used on board Mir was Moscow Time (MSK; UTC+03). The windows were covered during night hours to give the impression of darkness because the station experienced 16 sunrises and sunsets a day. A typical day for the crew began with a wake-up at 08:00 MSK, followed by two hours of personal hygiene and breakfast.
NASA had expected to use a newly built Crew Dragon capsule to launch Crew-10 as soon as February, but in December the space agency revealed that mission teams needed additional “time to complete ...
