The Soviet Union launched the Mir space station in 1986. It was the first modular space station and operated for 15 years, welcoming crews from various countries for scientific research and experiments in low Earth orbit.
The Mir space station was in space to conduct scientific research, experiments, and technology demonstrations in microgravity. It also served as a living and working space for astronauts and cosmonauts to learn more about long-duration space missions. Additionally, Mir helped pave the way for future space stations like the International Space Station (ISS).
No, the Russian space station Mir was deorbited and intentionally burned up in Earth's atmosphere in 2001 after 15 years in orbit. It re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and its debris fell into the South Pacific Ocean.
0 feet It was de-orbited years ago! Bottom of the sea!
The MIR space station was intentionally deorbited and crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2001 after 15 years in orbit. It was the first modular space station and orbited the Earth for over a decade, conducting numerous scientific experiments and observations.

The Mir Space Station was too big and too expensive to be recovered from Earth. In 2001 it was deorbited and allowed to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. Any remains crashed into the ocean. Their are Mir mockups and artifacts on display at various locations around the world. The Mir Space Station was too big and too expensive to be recovered from Earth.

No. It crashed back to earth in the late 90's.
The Mir space station weighed approximately 130 tons.
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.
