So far, there have only been three real "space stations".
1. Skylab
2. Mir
3. International Space Station, originally named "Freedom".
Skylab and Mir were each destroyed when they re-entered the Earth's atmosphere. The ISS is still on orbit, and you can often see it passing overhead. See the "Satellite Overflights" link to get a schedule of when the ISS (and other interesting satellites) will pass over your location. The ISS is easily visible even with city lights around.
International and Mir
There are currently two space stations in orbit. They are the permanently manned International Space Station and China's Tiangong 1 which is usually unmanned.
The Russian Space Station Mir which had an estimated 15 years in orbit, far longer than originally planned and then there were the earlier Salyut series of space stations which helped prepare the way for future research work of Mir and the International Space Station.

Space stations can help in the exploration of space because in space stations they do experiments on things they find in space.
Russia and the United States were the countries. Salyut was Russia's first space station and Skylab was the name of the space station for the United States.Please see related links below!

space stations help aid in space by doing test and experiments thx
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
space stations use a variety of objects to explore space. probes and the Hubble Space Telescope are main ones.
