Skylab was the precursor of the present International Space Station. It was a space station launched by NASA on May 14, 1973, and remained in orbit until July 11, 1979.
it was also in the earlyer (not shuttle) missions
The Skylab Space Station was the Untied States first space station, and was operated and launched by NASA in 1973. The Skylab Space Station stayed in Earth's orbit from 1973 to 1979.
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.

Skylab was a space station that orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979. It is not the same as the International Space Station which is currently in operation.

Skylab
The International Space Station was assembled in space and is designed to stay there. It is meant as a place of research and as a place for astronauts to stay in space. A space shuttle is a vehicle that can lauch from Earth into space and then return, something a space station cannot do. Space shuttles transport people and equipment to and from space.
Space probe is a station.
Skylab was a famous one and currently there is the International Space Station.
