Abstract
This paper discusses the merits of using on-board TV as the primary data recording system for certain type experiments in a manned space laboratory. Experiments of interest include fluid dynamics experiments. TV was used extensively on Skylab as the primary data system for such experiments. The results indicated a high potential for the use of TV as a data system for experiments. Contrasts with conventional photography, used on Apollo for similar experiments, are also given.
