CARR (1932-2020) was commander of the third and final manned visit to the Skylab
Orbital Workshop. This was the longest manned flight (84 days, 1 hour, 15 minutes) in
the history of manned space exploration to date. From November 16, 1973-February 8,
1974, the three-member crew, which also included Dr. Edward G. Gibson (science pilot) and
William R. Pogue (pilot), successfully completed 56 experiments, 26 science demonstrations,
15 subsystem-detailed objectives and 13 student investigations during their 1,214 revolutions
of the Earth. Carr, who was one of 19 astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966, had
previously served in the U.S. Navy before joining the U.S. Marine Corps. Between the time of
his selection and his journey into space, Carr was a member of several astronaut support
crews and was involved in the development and testing of the lunar roving vehicle used
during the Apollo Moon landings. Carr, who retired from the Marine Corps in 1975 and
from NASA in 1977, then became involved in several aerospace-related businesses. He is
married to artist/sculptor Pat Musick. Upper and lower margins have been removed. Paper
residue (previous mounting) on verso (no show through). Creased at corners.
