As the number of space expeditions increased, there was felt a need to establish space stations in space where a team/mission sent to outer space could live for some time. They can remain functional for up to year's time. Skylab was the name given to the space station launched by the united states.

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.
