Last Sunday, my primary space station, Skylab-II re-entered Earth's atmosphere as planned.
As follow up, the third generation (in my Orbiter world) of the Skylab station was launched today, at 11:00 utc. Called the Polar Earth Observatory (PEO), Skylab was launched in a polar orbit from Cape Canaveral (not really realistic I know).
The first planned mission is the Italian/European Eridanus shuttle later this month.
