The International Space Station is still in orbit, and is still being constructed.
No, the Mir space station was deorbited and intentionally crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2001 after 15 years in orbit.
Yes, it's in a low orbit around the Earth.
what International Space Station is the first fully functioning space station to orbit the earth.
Basically, they build the space station on the ground first, then they break it into parts small enough to fit in the shuttle, and reassemble it in space. They are still making improvements on the space station today.
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.

a rocket powers the space station into orbit

Well both do...the shuttles go in to orbit and return (at least they used to when NASA was still flying them), the ISS is left in orbit
The first module, Zarya, was sent into orbit on the 20th November 1998
No. The space station is in a stable orbit around the earth. Eventually, the orbit will decay and the station will begin falling toward the earth if steps are not taken to reestablish the stable orbit.
The space station does NOT fly. IT is in space and there is no are for it to fly in. The space station is in Earth Orbit moving at 7.66 kilometres per second.
It is named the International Space Station or ISS.
