The first module, Zarya, was sent into orbit on the 20th November 1998
The International Space Station (ISS) is still under construction. The first section was sent up into orbit in 1998, and sections are still being sent up. The station is expected to be completed in 2011.
Currently right now the International Space Station is the only space station in orbit. It has however been the only space station with such international participation that it can be really be considered international. Countries, including the US, have sent astronauts to Russia's former space station Mir. Just because the International Space Station is international, doesn't necessarily mean that every country uses it. Their are 15 countries that contribute to the ISS program including the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, and several European countries.
The space station, now weighing several tons, did not get up there in one launch. U.S. space shuttles and Russian, Canadian, and Japanese rockets brought pods. These smaller sections were peiced togather in orbit until you have what hangs over our heads today. -Jack
The first space station placed into orbit around the Earth and subsequently linked up with by a team sent from Earth was the Soviet space station, Salyut 1. It was launched on April 19, 1971, and served as the precursor to the modular space stations that followed.
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.

NASA is the most popular space station. NASA was the one who put the satellite in orbit and NASA has also sent the first mon the moon. NASA is located in Houston, Texas. It haves one of the most high technology in the industry. Hope this helpedd :)
The International Space Station (ISS) was a collaborative effort involving multiple space agencies including NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA. It was assembled in space over several years using modules launched on different rockets by these space agencies.
The Soviet Union developed the first space station placed into orbit around the Earth, called "Salyut 1." The crew of Soyuz 10 was sent to link up with the station in 1971, but they were unable to dock successfully due to a technical issue, resulting in an unsuccessful mission.
The International space station confirmed that a cargo dragon went down and crashed into the gulf of mexico on friday. A recovery team was then sent which then retrieved the vessel.
Yuri Gagarin was the first human both sent to space and also to orbit the Earth.
9 Venera probes were sent to Venus by the Russians but there is no space station
To orbit the planet Venus
