Major engineering support provided during the Skylab mission from the Marshall Space Flight Center and its contractors to the Mission Control Center at Houston was essential to Skylab success. The need for this type of support was anticipated during premission preparations due to the complexity and first-flight nature of the Skylab, but the requirements were greatly magnified by the problems encountered early in the mission. The MFSC engineering support organization and its interface to the Mission Control Center is described. The importance of close cooperation between the operating and engineering organizations in this type of mission is discussed. Illustrations are given from more than 1800 systems analysis actions worked out during the nine-month Skylab mission by more than 600 support engineers.
