It orbits the Earth.
However, even communications satellites in geosynchronous orbits are in orbit around the Earth; it's just that each orbit takes exactly one day, and so the satellite appears to be stationary above a point on the Earth. We can use this fact to our advantage; instead of building tracking antennas that follow a rapidly moving object, a tracking antenna for a geosynchronous satellite never needs to be turned.
Which is a good thing, because those little "Dish" and DirecTV antennas can't be easily turned!
what International Space Station is the first fully functioning space station to orbit the earth.
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.
The International Space Station (ISS) is currently the only operational space station in orbit. It serves as a collaborative effort between several countries for scientific research and technological advancements in space.
The International Space Station was sent into orbit in November 1998.
Geostationary should resolve in geostationary orbit because its centrimeter and gravitational force in geostationary satellite.A parking slot is provided for satellite.In geostationary satellite is maintain in this orbit in its whole life and maintain satellite in geostationary orbit is called "Station Keeping"In other words, the control routine necessary to keep the satellite in positionis known as "Station Keeping".It use to overlapping of coverage area of individual satellite.

The Hubble Space Telescope (or HST) is not in a geostationary orbit. The HST is located at an average altitude of 600 Km. Earths' geostationary orbit is at approximately 36 000 Km.

LEO orbit is closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit is.There's essentially no difference in their distance from the Sun.
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.

No, the Mir space station was deorbited and intentionally crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2001 after 15 years in orbit.
