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 was launched into space on May 14, 1973.
Skylab was designed by NASA and built by American engineers. It was launched into space on May 14, 1973 as the United States' first space station.
The United States launched Skylab, its first space station, in 1973. Skylab was launched by NASA atop a Saturn V rocket.
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 name of the first US space station was Skylab. It was launched into orbit in 1973 and remained operational until 1979. Skylab was used for scientific research and experiments in microgravity.
It was the first space station built by American astronauts. It was abandoned in 1974. It re-entered and burned up in Earth's atmosphere in 1979.

Skylab was first in 1973 then Mir, it was started in 1986 and finished in 1996. Endeaver was biult in 1987
6 years. The SkyLab program began in 1973 and ended in 1979 when it plummeted into the Indian Ocean.
