Skylab was a space station, launched by NASA in the 1970s to conduct scientific experiments in space. It was not a space probe or a space shuttle.
Skylab was abandoned due to budget constraints and the end of the Apollo program. Without a space shuttle to continue supporting and servicing the space station, it was left to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and eventually disintegrated upon re-entry in 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.
