The anechoic chamber is a radio-frequency free-space simulator, ideal for conducting impedance measurements on antenna systems, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests and as in this photo, extravehicular maneuvering unit (EMU) antenna pattern measurements.

S73-34181 (July-September 1973) --- Astronaut Jack R. Lousma, Skylab 3 pilot, works at the S190A multispectral camera experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA), seen from a color television transmission made by a TV camera aboard the Skylab space station cluster in Earth orbit. Lousma later used a small brush to clean the six lenses of the multispectral camera.
