The same phenomenon that keeps the moon in earth orbit, and the planets in solar orbit.
It's the mutual force of gravitational attraction between every pair of masses. Without
gravity, the space station would just sail off in a straight line and never be seen again.
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.
what International Space Station is the first fully functioning space station to orbit the earth.
It is named the International Space Station or ISS.
The first module, Zarya, was sent into orbit on the 20th November 1998
The International Space Station (ISS) is currently the only operational space station in orbit. It serves as a collaborative effort between several countries for scientific research and technological advancements in space.

The centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the space station. This gravitational force causes the space station to constantly fall towards Earth, but its tangential velocity keeps it moving sideways, resulting in a stable orbit.

False.
Actually, the International Space Station (ISS) is not the first space station to orbit Earth. Several others, such as the Soviet Union's Mir space station and the United States' Skylab, preceded it. The ISS is, however, the largest and most advanced space station ever built, representing an international collaboration among several countries.
The primary forces acting on the International Space Station while in orbit are gravitational force, which keeps it in orbit around Earth, and drag force from the thin atmosphere at higher altitudes, which causes a slight decay in its orbit over time. Additionally, minor forces such as solar radiation pressure and tidal forces from Earth also affect the station.
