Currently right now the International Space Station is the only space station in orbit. It has however been the only space station with such international participation that it can be really be considered international. Countries, including the US, have sent astronauts to Russia's former space station Mir. Just because the International Space Station is international, doesn't necessarily mean that every country uses it. Their are 15 countries that contribute to the ISS program including the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, and several European countries.
NASA has not had its own space station since Skylab re-entered Earth's atmosphere in 1979. The International Space Station is a joint project between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the space agencies of Russia, Japan, Canada and Brazil. It orbits Earth at an altitude of about 220 miles, and completes 15.7 orbits per day.
the iss is the biggest space station and only space station
Canada is not in space, so therefore there is no space station in Canada. Canada does have an arm on the International Space Station in space.
The Russian space station
The space station is a joint project among the space agencies of the United States (NASA), Russia (RKA), Japan (JAXA), Canada (CSA) and eleven European countries (ESA).
