SP-401 Skylab, Classroom in Space

Using a pyranometer, Joe Zmolek measured the energy received from the Sun as well as that reflected by the Earth. Simultaneous measurements were made from Skylab and aircraft. Such studies could help determine the effects of atmopsheric pollution on Earth's heat-energy balance.
