Answer:

yes the gravitational flux that is pulling on it is from the earth while it is only 105m away the gravitational field from the earth since its a big terrestrial rocky planet it has a big gravitational field surrounding it that can and will drag anything from a distant the only reason why it is not dragging the space station directly crashing into the earth is because the space station is at equilibrium with the earths gravity field.
