Apollo Command Module: Skylab 4

The Skylab 4 command module ferried the crew of the last Skylab mission—astronauts Gerald P. Carr, Edward G. Gibson, and William R. Pogue. The Skylab 4 crew lived in the Skylab for 84 days, from November 16, 1973, to February 8, 1974.
In flight, the Apollo command module operated with a service module—an equipment section, 7.4 meters (24 feet) long and 4 meters (13 feet) in diameter—attached to the command module. The service module provided electrical power, oxygen, and water for the command module for most of a typical flight.
