I can't think of one similarity other than they are both outside Earth's atmosphere.
Saturn is a planet, the ISS is not.
Saturn has rings, the ISS doesn't.
Saturn has a lot of moons, the ISS doesn't have any (except maybe for a bolt or bread crust that escaped and is caught in the ISS's tiny gravity).
Saturn is far from the sun, the ISS is not.
Saturn is much larger than the Earth, the ISS is not.
Sorry, there aren't any similarities.
The ISS is similar in a few ways to the Moon. They both orbit the Earth and are visible at times from Earth's surface. They both display phases. Humans can't live on the surface of either (humans live IN the ISS, but not ON it).
