In 1986, the Soviet Union launched a space station into space. That is a place where astronauts can eat and sleep during their missions. Mir was supposed to orbit earth for five years, but with repairs it orbited earth for fifteen years. Mir was finally abandoned in 2001. It fell safely to the earth. ''Mir'' is the Russian word for ''peace.''
