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'' is the Russian word for ''peace.''

When Mir was deorbited in 2001 it had been in space for over 15 years. It had already surpassed its certified orbital lifetime. Not only was it falling apart (it became cluttered and had suffered both interior and exterior damage) but it was also being outdated. At the time of decommissioning the International Space Station was already in mid consturction and logistically and financially it would be unfeasible for Russia to have two space stations in orbit.
