Chris Hadfield is on the International Space Station, not the Mir space station. Those two space stations are not the same. The reason he is there is to conduct space related research.
Salyut program of the U.S.S.R was the first space station. Skylab was the United States first space station. Then there was MIR from U.S.S.R. Now there is the international Space Station.
Some examples of Cosmonaut space labs include Mir and Tiangong.
Mir is an example of a space station, specifically a modular space station operated by the Soviet Union and later Russia from 1986 to 2001. It was designed for scientific research and international collaboration in space, serving as a platform for numerous experiments in various fields. Mir's construction and operation marked significant advancements in space technology and contributed to the development of future space habitats, including the International Space Station (ISS).
