Difference between Skylab and Spacecraft

Skylab vs. Spacecraft

Skylab was the United States' space station that orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979, when it fell back to Earth amid huge worldwide media attention. A spacecraft is a vehicle or machine designed to fly in outer space.

Similarities between Skylab and Spacecraft

Skylab and Spacecraft have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmospheric entry, Attitude control, Earth, International Space Station, Low Earth orbit, Manned Orbiting Laboratory, Meteoroid, NASA, Orbit, Project Gemini, Skylab, Space Shuttle, Space station, Spacelab, Sun, U.S. space exploration history on U.S. stamps.

Atmospheric entry

Atmospheric entry is the movement of an object from outer space into and through the gases of an atmosphere of a planet, dwarf planet or natural satellite.

Space station

A space station, also known as an orbital station or an orbital space station, is a spacecraft capable of supporting crewmembers, which is designed to remain in space (most commonly as an artificial satellite in low Earth orbit) for an extended period of time and for other spacecraft to dock.
