Lot 13: Bill Pogue's SL-4 flown Teleprinter Page
This piece of heat sensitive paper was used aboard the United States first space station, Skylab to print uplinked instructions for the Skylab III (SL-4) crew. At the time SL-4 Pilot Bill Pogue received the Teleprinter message he signed "done" over tasks that were complete.
On its reverse, using a pen (and ink) that was also flown aboard the station, SL-4 Pilot Bill Pogue certifies the paper as having flown over 100 million miles (over 4,300 orbits) between May 14, 1973 and February 8, 1974, from the day the station was launched to the day he landed.
The teleprint page measures approximately 12" by 3" and is from Pogue's personal collection.
