Skylab 3 var den andra flygningen till den amerikanska rymdstationen Skylab. Farkosten sköts upp med en Saturn IB-raket från Kennedy Space Center LC 39B den 28 juli 1973.
Man dockade med rymdstationen några timmar efter uppskjutningen.
Efter 58 dagar ombord lämnade man rymdstationen den 25 september 1973. Några timmar senare återinträdde man i jordens atmosfär och landade i Stilla havet.
Besättningen bestod av astronauterna Alan L. Bean, Owen Garriott och Jack R. Lousma.
Under flygningen började två av de fyra styrraketer på servicemodul att läcka bränsle och fick stängas av. Detta lämnade farkosten med endast två fungerande styrraketer, vilket var minimum för att flygningen skulle kunna fortsätta. På Kennedy Space Center började man förbereda Skylab Rescue ifall situationen skulle förvärras ytterligare. Vid ett tillfälle rullade man även ut raketen till LC 39-B. Men någon räddningsflygning behövdes aldrig.

Skylab2-Patch.png
This is the emblem for the second manned Skylab mission. It will be a mission of up to 56 days. The patch symbolizes the main objectives of the flight. The central figure, adapted from Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, illustrates the proportions of the human form and suggests the many studies of man himself to be conducted in the zero-gravity environment of space. This drawing is superimposed on two hemispheres representing the two additional main areas of research - studies of the Sun and the development of techniques for survey of the Earth's resources. The left hemisphere show the Sun as it will be seen in the red light radiated by hydrogen atoms in the solar atmosphere. The right hemisphere is intended to suggest the studies of Earth resources to be conducted on Skylab. Although the patch denotes this mission as Skylab II, it is actually consided to be the Skylab III mission. Image ID: S72-51123

Skylab1-Patch.png
This is the emblem for the first manned Skylab mission. It will be a mission of up to 28 days. Skylab is an experimental space station consisting of a 100-ton laboratory complex in which medical, scientific and technological experiments will be performed in Earth orbit. The prime crew of this mission will be astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., commander; scientist-astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, science pilot; and astronaut Paul J. Weits, pilot. The patch, designed by artist Kelly Freas, shows the Skylab silhouetted against the Earth's globe, which in turn is eclipsing the sun--showing the brilliant signet-ring pattern of the instant before the total eclipse.

This is the emblem for the third manned Skylab mission.
- It will be a mission of up to 56 days. Skylab is an experimental space station consisting of a 100-ton laboratory complex in which medical, scientific and technological experiments will be performed in Earth orbit. The members of the crew will be astronaut Gerald P. Carr, commander; scientist-astronaut Edward G. Gibson, science pilot; and astronaut William R. Pogue, pilot.
- The symbols in the patch refer to the three major areas of investigation proposed in the mission.
- The tree represents man's natural environment and relates directly to the Skylab mission objectives of advancing the study of Earth resources.
- The hydrogen atom, as the basic building block of the universe, represents man's exploration of the physical world, his application of knowledge, and his development of technology. Since the sun is composed primarily of hydrogen, it is appropriate that the symbol refers to the solar physics mission objectives.
- The human silhouette represents mankind and the human capacity to direct technology with a wisdom tempered by regard for his natural environment. It also directly relates to the Skylab medical studies of man himself.
- The rainbow, adopted from the Biblical story of the flood, symbolizes the promise that is offered man. It embraces man and extends to the tree and the hydrogen atom emphasizing man's pivotal role in the conciliation of technology with nature.
