Kathy L. Jackson Greeted By Astronauts and MSFC Personnel
Full Description:
Houston, Texas high school student, Kathy L. Jackson, is greeted by astronauts Russell L. Schweickart (left) and Owen K. Garriott (center), and Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Skylab Program Manager, Leland Belew during a tour of the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). Jackson was among 25 winners of a contest in which some 3,500 high school students proposed experiments for the following year?s Skylab mission. The nationwide scientific competition was sponsored by the National Science Teachers Association and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The winning students, along with their parents and sponsor teachers, visited MSFC where they met with scientists and engineers, participated in design reviews for their experiments, and toured MSFC facilities. Of the 25 students, 6 did not see their experiments conducted on Skylab because the experiments were not compatible with Skylab hardware and timelines. Of the 19 remaining, 11 experiments required the manufacture of additional equipment.
