The first achievement of Skylab was launching America's first space station into Earth's orbit on May 14, 1973. It was NASA's first attempt at long-duration human spaceflight and paved the way for future space stations like the International Space Station.
The date the Skylab launched and entered Earth's orbit was the 14 May 1973.
It takes the Moon about 27.3 Earth days to orbit around the Earth.
The earth orbits the sun in a year
365.25 days to orbit the sun.
Skylab orbited the earth from 1971 to 1979. It orbited the Earth 2,476 times during its 171 days and 13 hours that it was occupied from 1973 to 1974. This calculates to roughly 14.4 orbits per day, or 1hour 40minutes per orbit. Skylab included several different missions, both manned and unmanned.
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.
Skylab fell out of orbit 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.
Skylab was intentionally deorbited and crashed in Australia on 11 July 1979.
Skylab no longer exists. The last crew left for the final time in 1974. It re-entered the earth's atmosphere 5 years later and burned up.
No space station has orbited the moon. The first earth-orbiting space station was Skylab.

May 14, 1973. It burned up in Earth's atmosphere on reentry on July 11, 1979.
Saturn doesn't orbit Earth
Skylab fell to Earth on July 11, 1979 after its orbit decayed due to increased solar activity heating the Earth's atmosphere. The space station re-entered the atmosphere uncontrollably and its remnants fell into the Indian Ocean and remote parts of Western Australia.
