Most satellites are placed in low Earth orbit (LEO), typically ranging from about 180 to 2,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This layer is ideal for various applications, including communication, Earth observation, and scientific research, due to its relatively close proximity to the Earth. Some satellites, especially those intended for global communications and weather monitoring, are placed in higher orbits such as geostationary orbit (GEO) at approximately 35,786 kilometers.

Does the International Space Station have to orbit earth or can it be placed in space as a refuel spot so manned space travel can go further searching other planets?

If it remains aloft, it is in orbit. There are many different types of orbit. For instance, a geostationary orbit keeps the orbiting body positioned over the same spot on Earth. However an apparent retrograde orbit moves the satellite in the opposite direction of the Earth's rotation, and a Polar orbit sends the satellite over both poles, or nearly so.
