Official color glossy 10 x 8 red-numbered NASA photo (S-74-17306), which shows science pilot Ed Gibson working at the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) console in the Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA) during the Skylab 4 mission. The ATM console was one of the busiest areas of the space station during the 84-day third manned Skylab mission, as Comet Kohoutek and solar activity were closely followed by the ATM and monitored by the crewmen from the ATM console. As Gibson demonstrated during a television transmission on December 5, 1973, the ATM console controls several instruments on the solar telescope. Reverse bears faint "This Paper Manufactured by Kodak" watermarks. In fine condition. Encapsulated by PSA as an authentic 'Type I' photograph. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
