Magnetic Effects In Space (1973)

In the summer of 1973, astronauts Alan Bean, Jack LMA, and Dr. Owen Garriott conducted a nearly two-month mission aboard Skylab, the first space laboratory. Dr. Garriott, a scientist pilot, performed various scientific experiments, particularly focused on Earth’s magnetic field and its effects in a weightless environment. The mission included demonstrations to engage high school students on Earth, showcasing how the Earth’s magnetic field extends into space and influences navigation and natural phenomena like auroras. The astronauts conducted hands-on experiments with magnets to illustrate these concepts, emphasizing the unique opportunities for scientific exploration in space.
