NO getting the equipment into space would cost much more than just launching them from earth. First you have to get it up to the space station then you have launch it.....what kinda question is this?
Salyut program of the U.S.S.R was the first space station. Skylab was the United States first space station. Then there was MIR from U.S.S.R. Now there is the international Space Station.
