Note: "Skylab 1" was the name for the Skylab space station itself. This was launched on May 14, 1973, and reentered the Earth’s atmosphere on July 11, 1979. Some debris from the station landed in a sparsely populated region of Western Australia; some pieces are on display at a museum in Esperance, Western Australia. A large piece of debris (perhaps from an oxygen tank) is also on display at the Alabama Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL.

An unflown backup of the Skylab space station is on display at the National Air and Space Museum (Smithsonian Institution), Washington, DC.
