Skylab was launched in 1973 and disintegrated when it reentered the Earth's atmosphere in 1979. Some debris landed southeast of Perth, Western Australia, and was found between Esperance and Rawlinna, from 31° to 34°S and 122° to 126°E. Residents and an airline pilot saw dozens of colorful fireworks-like flares as large pieces broke up in the atmosphere.
A full-size training mock-up once used for astronaut training is located at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center visitor's center in Houston, Texas. Another full-size training mock-up at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama but is not on display. This Skylab engineering mock-up was being considered for restoration and display.

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.
