Skylab completists, clear some shelf space for 26 DVDs
Decades of archive hunting recover downlinks, silent reels, and footage once thought lost
Searching for Skylab has released a massive collection of 26 DVDs, covering almost every surviving video from the historic space station mission. This companion archive, aimed at completists, includes footage from the launch, prelaunch preparations, and the three Apollo spacecraft visits. The collection features an updated version of the Searching for Skylab documentary, alongside raw, unreleased footage of the station's experiments, spacewalks, and crew training.
Despite the high cost of £89.99 per volume (or $69.99 for digital editions), the collection offers a treasure trove of previously forgotten material, including footage of a tour conducted by the SL-2 crew and observation TV from the Apollo Telescope Mount. The upcoming Volume 4 will cover the reactivation and re-entry of Skylab, with Steven-Boniecki planning to gather footage from the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project next.
