The skylab returned on July 11,1979
The Skylab Space Station was the Untied States first space station, and was operated and launched by NASA in 1973. The Skylab Space Station stayed in Earth's orbit from 1973 to 1979.
The first American space station, Skylab, fell to earth in 1979.
The US launched the Skylab Space Station on May 14, 1973. Skylab was the first American space station in low Earth orbit and was used for various scientific experiments and observations.
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.
Skylab. It was not in the payload bay for every mission, though.
Skylab was the name of a specific NASA program and mission. It fell back to Earth and burned up in the atmosphere. However, if by skylab you mean a laboratory in space, the International Space Station has three laboratories.
Skylab was a space station that orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979. It is not the same as the International Space Station which is currently in operation.

Here to the question is not at all clear . Which mission are you asking about. The Mercury, the Gemini or the Apollo mission, or are you asking of the Skylab mission or the Space Shuttle mission?

'Skylab' was the US's first space station, launched in 1973. It re-entered earth's atmosphere in 1979 and disintegrated, with pieces of debris striking western Australia.
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 launched into space on May 14, 1973.
Skylab in 1973 was considered the first space station. It was a US mission that once docked with the Russian Syouz spacecraft.
