Skylab CMs coated with white
« on: May 28, 2013, 05:38:36 PM »
I noticed some time back the photos of the CM docked to Skylab were white, unlike the silver mylar applied to the lunar mission CMs.

I am guessing it has something to do with the thermal environment in LEO for the long stay attached to the Skylab. Can anyone amplify on this?

Thanks
edit to make "CSM into "CM"
