SKYLAB Space Station Souvenir Sheets

Two different types of souvenir sheets were used for the Skylab missions. Both are horizontal format,
printed bi-color and contain nine 6 cent locals. Type "A" illustrates the Skylab and was used on
numbers SL-1-NLP, SL-4-NLP and SL-6-NLP. Type "B" illustrates the crew emblem of each of the
three crews. It is used on SL-2-NLP, SL-3-NLP and SL-5-NLP.

Skylab 1 is the designation of the Orbiting Laboratory itself; Skylab 2 refers to the first crew of
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz; Skylab 3 refers to the second crew of Bean, Lousma and
Garriott; and Skylab 4 refers to the third crew of Carr, Gibson and Pogue.
