How do you raise the height of the space station without the shuttle?

I believe the space station is equipped with thrusters (small rocket engines), that can make corrections or altitude changes when necessary without the shuttle.

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.
What does the Orbital Maneuvering System on the space shuttle do?
The Orbiter Maneuvering System or OMS are two small engines (smaller then the Space Shuttle Main Engines) that allow the orbiter to lower or raise its orbit during a mission. It is also used to slow the orbiter down for re-entry.

How does the spaceshuttle overcome gravity?
Well, first of all, the last Space Shuttle mission flew in July of 2011, and the shuttlesare all in museums now. (Held there, I'm pretty sure, by gravity.)When they did fly, the shuttle certainly needed powerful rocket boosters to raise itabove the atmosphere, and accelerate it to a high enough tangential ('sideways')speed to maintain orbit. But once that job is done, it doesn't take any more workto stay in orbit. I mean, look at the Moon !And actually, for that matter, you would not want the shuttle to overcome gravity,because gravity is what keeps things in orbit.
How does the space station overcome gravity?
Answer #1 .Rockets were used to put the space station (and its various component parts) into orbit,thereby overcoming gravity. Once in orbit, gravity continues to be overcome by theangular momentum of the orbiting station. Sometimes it is necessary to use rocketsagain, to add a bit more momentum, since there is still some friction even at that altitude.==================Answer #2 .The parts of the space station certainly needed powerful rocket boosters to raise themabove the atmosphere, and accelerate them to a high enough tangential ('sideways')speed to maintain orbit.

How do you raise the station in RCT3?
You cant raise the station when it is already built. When you are placing a station hold shift down then move the mouse up and click when you have the height you want

No, not without replacing the entire sprinkler (and then the hole and feeding line would have to be deeper).
What is a suspension over ride switch in a 60K tunner?
It tricks the loader into thinking it's in Suspension mode (its most stable height 4.5") allowing you to raise the Deck without being in suspension height or travel height 9.5. This is used mainly for reconfiguration of the loader for transport, or it's a time saver. I don't have to stop, lower suspension, and then raise the deck. I just hold the switch and raise the deck.
What is a 4.3 raise?
It depends on what your raise is, money, distance, height, etc. This needs clarification.

What does full free lift mean on a forklift?
Free lift is the ability to raise the forks without the mast height increasing. This is beneficial for trucks working in containers or other areas with restricted height as they can stack and destack loads within the height of their mast. Good luck, Alba Forklift Training
