== Engineering mock-ups == A full-size 1G training mock-up once used for astronaut training is located at the [[Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center]] [[Space Center Houston|visitor center]] in [[Houston]], [[Texas]]. Another training mockup, originally used at the [[Neutral Buoyancy Simulator]] (NBS), is at the [[U.S. Space & Rocket Center]] in [[Huntsville, Alabama]]. Originally displayed indoors, it was subsequently stored outdoors for several years to make room for other exhibits. To mark the 40th anniversary of the Skylab program, the Orbital Workshop portion of the trainer was restored and moved into the [[U.S. Space & Rocket Center|Davidson Center]] in 2013.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spacecamp.com/mu/exhibits |title=Museum Galleries|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029200245/http://www.spacecamp.com/mu/exhibits|archive-date=October 29, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.al.com/breaking/2013/01/post_1045.html|title=Skylab Engineering Mockup Moves into Saturn V Hall at Space and Rocket Center After 10 Years Outdoors|website=al.com|date=January 29, 2013}}</ref> <gallery mode="packed"> File:Space Center Houston Skylab spacewalk.jpg|1-G trainer at [[Space Center Houston]].
