How does spacestation remain in space?

A space station stays in space through a combination of its orbital velocity, which counteracts the pull of gravity, and periodic boosts to maintain its trajectory. The station's speed ensures that it continually falls toward Earth but keeps missing it due to its forward motion. By carefully managing its velocity and course, the space station can stay in orbit for an extended period.
