This document provides a general description of Skylab space experiments in life sciences, solar physics, Earth observations, astrophysics, material science and manufacturing in space, and engineering and technology. Individual experiments are described in good detail, with about two or three pages per experiment. Many of them have line drawing illustrations and there are a few photos. The format lists the experiment title, the Principal Investigator, Development Center and Contractor, Statement of Objectives, Background as to why the experiment is valuable, Hardware description, Protocol, and Data return. The book starts with an introduction of "The Skylab Experiment Program." It does not include a description of experiment results.
