Commander Paul Weitz had previously served as Pilot on the [[Skylab 2 |first Skylab crewed mission]] (Skylab-2), where he lived and worked in Skylab for nearly a month from May to June 1973. After Skylab, Weitz became the [[Chief of the Astronaut Office|Deputy Chief of the Astronaut Office]] under Chief Astronaut [[John Young (astronaut)|John Young]]. Bobko originally became an astronaut for the [[United States Air Force|Air Force's]] [[Manned Orbiting Laboratory]] (MOL) program but later joined NASA in 1969 after the MOL program's cancellation. Prior to STS-6 he participated in the [[Skylab Medical Experiment Altitude Test]] (SMEAT) and worked as a member of the support crew for the [[Apollo–Soyuz|Apollo-Soyuz Test Project]] (ASTP).

Peterson was also a transfer from the MOL program, and was a member of the support crew for [[Apollo 16]]. Musgrave joined NASA in 1967 as part of the [[NASA Astronaut Group 6|second scientist-astronaut group]], and was the backup Science Pilot for the first Skylab mission. He also participated in the design of the equipment that he and Peterson used during their EVA on the STS-6 mission.
