The Skylab experiment T002 Manual Space Navigation Sightings was successfully completed on Skylab missions II and III. The purpose of T002 was to investigate the feasibility of a manual navigation system for use in back up navigation applications and to investigate the capability of man to make the necessary celestial observations in terms of accuracy and precision under the conditions of long term space flight. The experiment involves the use of a handheld space stadimeter for measuring altitude as a function of earth horizon curvature and a handheld space sextant for measuring space observable angles such as star to earth horizon and star to moon.
