Skylab II Mission Patch - NASA’s Final Skylab Crew Emblem #2009781 (License: Personal Use)

This emblem commemorates the Skylab 4 mission (often informally called Skylab II), flown by astronauts Gerald Carr, Edward Gibson, and William Pogue-though the patch mistakenly lists Bean, Garriott, and Lousma (who flew Skylab 3). The design integrates the Vitruvian Man within a square and circle, flanked by red (representing fire/energy) and blue (Earth/water) hemispheres, evoking classical ideals of proportion and cosmic exploration. The outer ring bears the crew names and “Skylab II” in bold lettering, reflecting the mission’s scientific ambition and legacy.

Used on NASA documentation, memorabilia, and educational resources about the Skylab program; matches user intent for historical space mission visuals, astronaut patches, or STEM education materials.
