Space stations are too small and do not have gravitational pull to draw in something that large to orbit it.

The Russian Space Station Mir which had an estimated 15 years in orbit, far longer than originally planned and then there were the earlier Salyut series of space stations which helped prepare the way for future research work of Mir and the International Space Station.
==Orbital period== The International Space Station completes 15.79 orbits per day, or about one orbit every 90 minutes.
at 85 kilometers and its the thermosphere
the international space stations is somewhere in space and hence the name international space stations it is there for the whole world to use engineers and scientists stay out there for long term
