Not specifically, but way back in s1 when the Great Machine was waking
up and starting to tear apart the planet, it was mentioned that the
station was close enough in orbit of the planet that it'd be destroyed
too.

And they were close enough in orbit that mere shuttles and fighters
could make the round trip.

It was mentioned several times specifically that they were in orbit of
the planet.
