6 years. The SkyLab program began in 1973 and ended in 1979 when it plummeted into the Indian ocean.
The United States launched Skylab, its first space station, in 1973. Skylab was launched by NASA atop a Saturn V rocket.
Skylab was intentionally deorbited and crashed in Australia on 11 July 1979.
The first achievement of Skylab was launching America's first space station into Earth's orbit on May 14, 1973. It was NASA's first attempt at long-duration human spaceflight and paved the way for future space stations like the International Space Station.
The first American space station was Skylab (sometimes referred to as Skylab 1) which was made from an empty and converted Saturn V rocket case. It was launched in May 1973, and re-entered Earth's atmosphere when its orbit decayed in July 1979, long after the last crew had departed. The only other one the US has participated in is the ISS (International Space Station) which was built by the joint effort of America, Russia, China, Korea, Japan and many other countries

Skylab I was launched on 14 May 1973.

Astronauts when they do not work, sleep, or as in the Skylab had a day for having a wash and clean up, they had radio work as well.
One of my projects is aboard the Skylab.
Skylab was the first US manned space laboratory. It was launched in 1973 and orbited Earth until 1979. Skylab was used to conduct experiments in microgravity and study the effects of long-duration space missions on the human body.
Skylab was the United States' first space station and paved the way for long-duration human spaceflight. It provided valuable data on the effects of prolonged space travel on the human body and served as a precursor to the International Space Station. Skylab also expanded our understanding of solar phenomena and Earth observation.
Skylab was launched into space on May 14, 1973.
