The International Space Station (ISS) is manned by a rotating crew of astronauts and cosmonauts from various countries, typically consisting of six members at a time. Crew members are selected and trained by their respective space agencies, such as NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, and others. They live and work on the station for missions that usually last about six months, conducting scientific research and performing maintenance tasks. Regular crew rotations are facilitated by spacecraft like the SpaceX Crew Dragon and the Russian Soyuz, which transport astronauts to and from the ISS.
The first manned space station was Salyut 1, launched by the Soviet Union in April 1971.
Yes. The word "station" implies people at it. If a "space station" weren't manned, it would simply be called a satellite.
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.
Skylab, though it was launched in 1973 and destroyed in 1979, when its orbit decayed enough to allow it to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.
The latest spacecraft used for manned flights is SpaceX's Crew Dragon, which is used by NASA for missions to the International Space Station. Crew Dragon is designed to transport astronauts to and from space, and it has been used for several successful manned missions since 2020.

Yes, the International Space Station is always manned.

Manned space missions have carried their crew members to low-earth orbit, to lunar orbit, and to the surface of the moon. The most recent manned lunar orbits and lunar landings took place 38 years ago.
Manned space flight is a voyage into space with a human passenger on board.
The Manned Impact Accelerator (MIA) is a space station concept designed for long-duration missions to deepen our understanding of human physiology and biology in space. It aims to provide a platform for studying the effects of microgravity on the human body, which is crucial for future deep space exploration missions.
The Soviet Union (USSR) launched the first space station "Salyut 1" on April 19, 1971. (It was only manned for 23 days in June, 1971, and the Soyuz 11 crew were killed on reentry of their capsule.) The orbit of Salyut decayed and it was deliberately splashed into the Pacific Ocean on October 11, 1971.
