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

In 1986
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was it falling apart (it became cluttered and had suffered both interior and exterior damage) but it was also being outdated.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.
The Space Station Mir was launched in 1986 by the USSR. Mir was the first modular space station, meaning it was the first space station to be constructed in orbit from separate modules. Construction of Mir was completed in 1996. In 2001, Mir was purposefully deorbited. Mir re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and was destroyed over the Pacific ocean. Mir holds the record for the longest continuous manned presence, at only 8 days short of ten years, and was operated for a total length of twelve and a half years of its fifteen year lifespan.
