MIR is Russian for "peace or world". It was a Russian space station that was the first inhabited space station in space. It was in operation from 1986 til 2001 when it's orbit was allowed to degenerate and burnt up in the Earths atmosphere.
It should not be confused with the International Space Station or ISS which is a separate space station.

Hen was the International space station invented?
The International Space Station was first conceived in the early 80's as Space Station Freedom. It was originally intended to be a counter to the Russian Salyut and Mir space stations. At the same time, the Russians were developing Mir-2 as a replacement for the space station Mir. Because of budget and design contraints, Space Station Freedom never made it past minor tests. Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mir-2 was also on the verge of being cancelled. Through international cooperation, both space station projects were revived. In 1993, the Clinton administration announced that Space Station Freedom, Mir-2, as well as Europe's Columbus Orbital Facility and Japan's Kibo would all be combined into one large space station: The International Space Station. In 1998, construction of the International Space Station finally began with the launch of Russia's Zarya module, originally designed for Mir-2. And now over 10 years later, ISS is almost complete.
