Nobody has ever been to any other celestial body other than the Earth and the Moon. So to answer your question their, their is no such space station. Their is only one station in orbit right now, the International Space Station which is primarily used for research. It is located in what is considered low earth orbit or about 200 miles above our heads. Nobody has ever been to any other celestial body other than the Earth and the Moon.

The space station, now weighing several tons, did not get up there in one launch. U.S. space shuttles and Russian, Canadian, and Japanese rockets brought pods. These smaller sections were peiced togather in orbit until you have what hangs over our heads today. -Jack
the International Space Station
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.
International space station is not flying, its orbiting.
Salyut program of the U.S.S.R was the first space station. Skylab was the United States first space station. Then there was MIR from U.S.S.R. Now there is the international Space Station.

The International Space Station normally has a crew of three or four, and while they rotate, most astronauts do not get to live on the space station. As of Feb. 2010 the number is now up to 6.
The Hubble Space Telescope (the HST or just the Hubble) is in earth orbit. Oh! You mean where in earth orbit! NASA is keeping an eye on it, and you can look over their shoulder by using the link provided.
