Mir is a Soviet/Russian space station that operated in LEO from 1986 to 2001. It is the first modular space station ever assembled in space, and throughout its history, it hosted 30 long-duration expeditions, each carrying three astronauts arriving via a Soyuz or a Space Shuttle, with stays ranging from 7 to 434 days. The experience acquired in space station assembly paved the way for other modular space stations like the ISS and Tiangong to also be built.
