Spaceflight experience: |
William Pogue is one of the
19 Astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966. He served as
a member of the astronaut support crews for the Apollo 7,
11, and 14 missions.
Pogue was pilot of Skylab 4 (third and final manned visit
to the Skylab orbital workshop), launched November 16,
1973, and concluded February 8, 1974. This was the longest
manned flight (84 days, 1 hour and 15 minutes) in the
history of manned space exploration to date. Pogue was
accompanied on the record setting 34.5-million-mile flight
by Gerald Carr (commander) and Edward Gibson (science-pilot).
They successfully completed 56 experiments, 26 science
demonstrations, 15 subsystem detailed objectives, and 13
student investigations during their 1,214 revolutions of
the earth.
They also acquired extensive earth resources observations
data using Skylab's earth resources experiment package
camera and sensor array and logged 338 hours of operations
of the Apollo Telescope Mount which made extensive
observations of the sun's solar processes. Logged 13 hours
and 31 minutes in two EVA's outside the orbital workshop.
