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.
