This report documents the Skylab 4 experiments' selection for observing of the Comet Kohoutek, 1973f. The report also reflects premission planning versus actual experiment performance based upon the changing cometary parameters. The experiment concepts, hardware, operational performance and anomalies are discussed. Experiments which viewed the comet were mainly through the SAL and ATM, but some were handheld and EVA. A complete astronaut commentary appears as appendixes.
