Profusely illustrated (many in color). Maps. Figures. Appendix. Index. Small ding at base of spine. Dr. Charles A. Lundquist is director of the Space Sciences Laboratory at NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Lundquist Ph.D. degree in physics was completed in 1953 at the University of Kansas. Prior to becoming a member of the Marshall Center team in 1973, Lundquist was assistant director for science at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, Mass. Research fields in which Dr. Lundquist specializes are space sciences, including the space environment, astronomy, studies of the earth from space, and lunar sciences. He has authored and co-authored a number of papers pertaining to his research in astrophysics and space science. As in many areas of science, most of the specific results will be of particular interest to the principal investigators and their colleagues, but the total Skylab science program should have far-reaching significance for a much larger audience. One of the special characteristics of Skylab was its ability to provide a platform for a large number of physically small and relatively simple experiments that could never have obtained a solo ride on a satellite. Its multidisciplinary character allowed the Skylab mission to serve a very broad science constituency-ranging from observations of cosmic rays to the growth of semiconductor crystals. The multidisciplinary science payload also permitted very full utilization of the space laboratory. A satellite devoted solely to solar astronomy can observe the Sun during only roughly two-thirds of each orbit. The same is true of a satellite devoted solely to Earth observations, etc.
