50 tonnes
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Skylab
Skylab was approximately 36.1 m long in orbit and had a launch mass of 77,088 kg. Deployed solar arrays extend across its width but do not define the measured longitudinal span.
The marked launch mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
