The International Space Station (ISS), which orbits at between 187 and 194 nautical miles (about 215 to about 223 miles), is in what is called the thermosphere. We know that this layer, which is above the mesosphere and below the exosphere, extends from about 100 kilometers (a bit over 60 miles) to 690 kilometers (a little less than 430 miles) above the surface of the earth. Links can be found below for confirmation and for additional data.
