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

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).

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.
To adjust the mower height for optimal grass cutting, locate the adjustment lever or knob on the mower deck. Raise or lower the lever to change the cutting height. For shorter grass, lower the deck, and for longer grass, raise it. Make small adjustments until you find the right height for a clean cut without damaging the grass.
It depends on what your raise is, money, distance, height, etc. This needs clarification.
You can´t.
To raise the height of your bicycle handlebars, you can adjust the stem or add a stem extender. Loosen the bolts on the stem, adjust the height, and then tighten the bolts securely. Make sure the handlebars are at a comfortable height for you before riding.

You can adjust the height of your desk by using a desk with adjustable legs or a desk riser. This will allow you to raise or lower the desk to a comfortable height for your needs.
In most vehicles helper springs help hold, not raise.
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
