I'm not sure if it's ever measured, but it could be approximated by calculating the surface gravity of a spherical asteroid of equal mass and dimensions.
Assuming the mass of the International Space Station is 450 000 kg (M) and its mean radius is about 30 meters (r) , the surface gravity would be g = MG/r2 = about 0,00000003337 m/s2 (about 30 nanometers/square second).
For comparison, Earth's surface gravity is about 9.81 m/s2, so the gravity you would experience standing on the surface of the International Space Station is about 0.3 millionth of a percent compared to earth. It's certainly too small a gravity to hold you attached to the station if you were standing on it.
If you're inside the space station, in the center of the station, there is zero gravity because you are in the center of gravity because the mass of the station is situated around you.

What is space lab?
It is a laboratory in space. Earth has many of them orbiting it. The International Space Station (ISS) has several labs dedicated to research of space, the sun, plants and animals' reaction to space and new materials invented in zero g.
What was the purpose of the International Space Station?
The ISS is used for various research projects and experiments that can only be performed in micro-gravity. (free-fall, or zero G)
How will be the value of g vary ar different distances from the hub of a rotating space station?
The values of g would decrease once getting closer to the axis. At the axis it would be 0g
An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size can he hope to detect gravity?
If the size of the space station is large enough, then the astronaut will detect the change in Earth's gravity (g).
What is the g force of the space shuttle at reentry?
1.5

How many g's do ypu experience in the center of a space station?
The most meaningful answer is zero G. You, the space-station and everything in it are in free-fall towards Earth. All are 'weightless' (but not massless).
Is it possible to live with no gravity?
Folk on the International Space Station live in a zero G environment, and suffer from muscle and bone wastage as a result, in spite of keeping up an exercise regime.

Do potatoes grow in space?
Many types of plants have been germinated in space aboard the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. I was unable to find any information on anyone attempting to grow pumpkins to fruition, but it is theoretically possible, as long as you can account for providing water and nutrients in a zero-g environment, and can provide an adequate light source.

What essential needs for survival must be met to colonize the moon?
The colony must provide everything that an orbiting Space Station must provide, except that the special toilets needed for Zero-G on the Space Station should not be necessary and more normal toilets could be used.
Where the gravitational pull of earth exists up to?
The gravitational pull decreases in inverse proportion to the square of distance from the centre of the earth, thus it would speedily decrease as we go away from earth but never become zero anywhere, it remains, in however small quantities. Say, 160 km from the surface of the earth, the gravitational pull would be 0.95 times that at the surface of the earth (which is 9.81 m/s2). At 400 km from the earth (where the International Space Station seems to be floating), it would be 0.88 times that which is at the surface of the earth. Near moon, it would be .000272 times of what we feel here. Now, the weightlessness they feel on the International Space Station is due to the fact that the Space Station is circling around earth once in 91 minutes. The centrifugal force compensates for the remaining 0.88 g gravity there.
What is the value g?
9.8 is the value for g, which stands for Gravity.
