Let me answer that question again!
Hubble: - definitely in orbit (see link...)
Internation Space Station - definitely in orbit...
Mir space station... The station existed until March 23, 2001, at which point it was deliberately de-orbited, and broke apart during atmospheric re-entry.

The MIR is no longer in orbit, the International Space station is in orbit. Hubble is still in orbit though.

both are still in orbit i believe... i might be wrong about the Mir, but the Hubble definately is, NASA is scheduling a shuttle mission to repair the Telescope sometime in the near future.
Edit: after reading the article on MIR on wikipedia, it is true that the station is NOT in orbit any more. however that has been replaced by the International Space Station (ISS)

The Hubble Space Telescope is still in orbit and operating, although it is in bad need of repair. There is a shuttle mission scheduled in a year or so to repair it. The Mir space station is no longer in orbit. It was deliberately de-orbited, and broke apart during atmospheric re-entry in 2001.

MIR is no longer in orbit, it was replaced by ISS, the international space station. Yes, Hubble is still in orbit.

Hubble and the International space station (ISS) are still in orbit. MIR is not.

MIR fell to earth a few years ago. Hubble is still up there. Our current space station is a cooperative effort between the U.S. and Russia.
MIR broke up in the atmosphere. Most of it burned up on reentry but huge chunks landed here and there.

Hubble-Yes
MIR-No
Yes there is a space station-International Space Station that is currently occupied and growing.

No, the ISS is significant certainly. it truly is why the 5 best area agencies contained in the global are funding and partaking in this project. we try to colonise the sea mattress to boot, there are a range of experiments occurring global in this field. If all of us shared your pessimism lets nonetheless be residing in airborne dirt and dirt huts, and lets in no way have left Africa, now to not coach Europe.

Well the Hubble is still in use and we do get data from it.
