Compared to a planet a space station is tiny. While all objects with mass gave gravity, that of a space station is negligible, and certainly could not keep a moon in orbit.

How many moons does a space station have?

A space station doesnt have any moons because it is man-made. See the link below. A space station orbits the earth or another planet with a much larger mass; it cannot have a moon unless you manage to get a rock to orbit one, which is highly unlikely.Look up international space station on Wikipedia, and it will describe what it is and what it does. For example, it has a mass large enough to attract another mass to orbit it.
