S73-26401 (23 May 1973) --- An umbrella-like mechanical device called the "parasol", one of the several sunscreen possibilities being considered for use in shading the overheated Skylab 1 Orbital Workshop (OWS), receives a checkout in the Technical Services shop in Bldg. 10 at Johnson Space Center. Here, a technician starts to deploy the "parasol" sunshade. The "parasol" is designed to fit into the T027 experiment photometer canister.
