Other Possible Source The other possible source of electrical power for the space station would be nuclear generators of the type now powering the small unmanned Pioneer spacecraft en route to Jupiter. They, however, have not been developed to the point where they can now be used to produce large amounts of power in a manned spacecraft.

Solar cells have long been used to power unmanned satellites which must operate in eann shadow. Sjjf Separate Panels THe Skylab will have six separate solar panels. Two, with a total width of 90 feet, will be attached to the main body of the laboratory and four 49-foot panels linked in a cross will be mounted to the station's observatory section. Construction of the Skylab solar panels started four years ago. After being completed, they were put through a long series of tests to see how well they turned solar energy into electricity.

Some of the tests were conducted in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, high Huntingdon and Mount Union, July 5, 1972 PAGE ,15 above smog layers that screen for a total of five months some sunlight from earth. ove an eight-month period.

Pompidou did "not immediately announce who will replace the outgoing prime minister. He scheduled urgent consultations with Defense Minister Michel Debre and other Gaullist coalition leaders for later in the day. Chaban-Delmas' resignation has long been rumored and officially denied. He has been criticized in the ranks of his own Gaullist coalition for allegedly not being tough enough to deal with various financial scandals in which Gaullist public figures were implicated. Pompidou's move was taken by political observers to mean he is accepting the challenge raised by the new Communist- Socialist alliance.
