French contribution to the final tracking of Skylab is reported. Specifically, interagency collaboration within the French scientific community and French cooperation with NASA are detailed. Global tracking operations organization is described and the tracking equipment used is cited. A rundown of significant events affecting operations support over the final 24 hr of Skylab orbital lifetime is presented. An eyewitness account (Skylab public release information No. 19) of the vehicle reentry and breakup is quoted. A chronological recapitulation of messages exchanged the French space agency and NASA is also given.
