The name of the Russian space station is Mir, which translates to "peace" or "world" in Russian. Operational from 1986 to 2001, Mir was a modular space station that played a crucial role in the development of international cooperation in space. It was the first space station to support long-term human habitation, hosting more than 100 astronauts from 12 countries during its lifetime. Mir served as a platform for scientific research in various fields and contributed valuable experience leading to the construction of the International Space Station (ISS).
