Samples for mycological analysis were collected from surfaces in the Skylab spacecraft before launch and during flight for each manned mission. Fungal contamination levels were low during the first two flights; however, the species recovered were different for each mission. On the third mission, widespread contamination of the Skylab spacecraft with Aspergillus and Pencillium spp. was detected. This contamination was traced to several contaminated space suit undergarments.
在每次载人任务发射前和飞行期间,从天空实验室航天器的表面采集了用于真菌学分析的样本。在前两次飞行中,真菌污染水平较低;然而,每次任务中回收的物种不同。在第三次任务中,检测到天空实验室航天器被曲霉菌和青霉菌广泛污染。这种污染被追溯到几套受污染的航天服内衣。
