Approximate Skylab Orbit for July 11. 1979
The map shows the orbits Skylab will make today, according to the latest information released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States. N.A'.S.A. has predicted that from late tonight (N.Z. time) Skylab is likely to fall to Earth. Although the map shows the broad areas of the world which will be in Skylab’s path, no-one will know until the final minutes when and where it will break up. The times across the centre of the map refer to the 24-hour clock, Eastern Daylight Time, which is 17 hours behind New Zealand time.
