Skylab
Skylab was the first US space station and the world's first big space station. It was launched on May 14th, 1973 by a Saturn V Rocket. Skylab Space Station was assembled from Saturn V and Apollo components. Skylab's purpose was to serve as a laborarory for scientific experiments in space until February 1974.
On the 11th July, 1979, Skylab re-entered the Earth's atmoshpere and scattered debris over the Indian Ocean and the sparsely settled region of Western Australia.
Three crews visited Skylab. Each of the Skylab crews set new time records. The last crew set a record that was not broken for over 20 years.

* Skylab was launched in one launch and required no assembly. The International Space Station (ISS) will take many years to put together in orbit.
* Skylab was the first and only United States Space Station to date. The ISS involves many countries.
