Teeth

In 1973 the Skylab space travels began marking the start of manned space flights into earth orbit and during this time the astronauts relied on different modern dental equipment as they proceeded with their journey. Manned space travel during the Skylab missions brought military dentists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA to create a dental component for the in flight medical support system or IMSS. The dental equipment on board the three Skylab flights managed to assist the three man crews who were sent into space for periods lasting from 28 to 56 days at a time.

As part of the first manned space flights during the Skylab operations during the seventies the astronauts who were sent into earth orbit were accompanied by modern dental equipment. When it comes to having the means for dental care especially during the Skylab travels of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA the military dentists are to thank for their efforts that improved the in flight medical support system or IMSS for astronauts. Three man crews were sent into space from 28 to 56 days during the Skylab program and on all of the three flights launched during this period modern dental equipment was utilized.
