Hello to all.
Title says all... strip Skylab B of its 11 000kg ATM, add a pressurised module from Spacelab, and put that in the shuttle payload bay.
Once in orbit, open the doors, unfold the "treadmill" and there you go, a Shuttle Solar Observatory...
Of course the mission would have happened in the early 80's, not today (ATM is probably very obsolete)
Any interest in such sheme ? What problems would it cause to the orbiter ?
Just curious
