What is skylab?
Skylab was a space station launched and operated by NASA (the space agency of the United States) and was the U.S.'s first space station. Skylab orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979, and included a workshop, a solar observatory, and other systems. It was inhabited by 3 different crews. The Skylab 1 crew (Pete Conrad, Paul Weitz, Joe Kerwin) was launched on May 23, 1973. They were charged with repairing the solar array panel that was damaged during launch. They also installed an umbrella on the outside of Skylab to keep the vehicle from overheating. Within days they were working on their experiments. Skylab 1 spent a total of 28 days in space. Each of the 3 Skylab crews set records for duration in space. The Skylab 2 crew (Alan Bean, Jack Lousma, Owen Garriott) launched July 28, 1973. They spent 59 1/2 days performing solar and earth studies from space. The Skylab 3 crew (Gerald Carr, Bill Pogue, Ed Gibson) launched on November 16, 1973 and spent 84 days working in Skylab. The last cew left Skylab on February 8, 1974. Skylab was destroyed when it reentered earth's atmosphere on July 11, 1979.

Why was Skylab abandoned?
It wasn't intentionally abandoned. It was originally thought that the Space Shuttle would be operational before Skylab fell to earth. The Space Shuttle would then raise Skylab into a higher orbit to be used by multiple Space Shuttle crews, but an overabundance of solar flares caused Skylab to fall to earth 2 years before it normally would have. Delays in the development of the Space Shuttle spelled the demise of Skylab.
