"Calibre" isn't a format and the core Calibre app doesn't display ebooks so I'm assuming that:
  1. In InDesign, you exported the document as an ePub, given that this is the ePub sub-forum.
  2. you then imported the ePub into calibre.
  3. you then opened the ePub in an ePub viewer, perhaps the ebook-viewer app that is bundled with calibre.

Based on those assumptions, the space omission occurred in InDesign, likely a formatting type that its ePub export doesn't handle. This would leave you with two functional fixes:
  • edit the InDesign document to change the way the space was inserted and reexport. This may be a bit of a Trial-and-Terror chore as you may need to experiment with more than one option.
  • simply edit the ePub that is in calibre to add the omitted space, using either the Editor app that is bundled with calibre or with some other ePub editor like Sigil.
