The good kind
As of now, there are multiple space stations in orbit. The International Space Station (ISS) is the most well-known and currently operational, with astronauts living and working onboard. Additionally, China has its own space station, Tiangong, which is also in orbit.
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.

As of now, there are multiple space stations in orbit around Earth. The International Space Station (ISS) is the most well-known and has been continuously occupied since November 2000. Other countries, such as China and Russia, also have their own space stations in operation.
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
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.
As of now, there are no manned space probes in space. All probes sent beyond Earth's orbit are unmanned and controlled remotely from Earth. Manned missions have been limited to spacecraft that carry astronauts, such as the International Space Station or missions to the Moon.
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.
Yes, the International Space Station is always manned.
International space station orbiting the earth now
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.
The space station currently orbiting Earth is called the International Space Station (ISS). It serves as a research facility for various countries and is inhabited by astronauts from around the world.
Right now there are no gyms in space. The shuttle and the space station have tredmills though.
