Canada: A successor to the Salyut and Skylab space stations, MIR was launched in 1986 by the Soviet Union (later Russia). It was during the second shuttle-MIR docking by space shuttle Atlantis (STS-74, 12-20 November, 1995) that Chris Hadfield became the only Canadian to visit the space station. Hadfield flew as the first Canadian mission specialist, was the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm in orbit, and the only Canadian to ever board MIR. On this mission, Hadfield used the Canadarm and its Advanced Space Vision System (ASVS) and Canadian Target Assembly (CTA) to attach the docking module to MIR’s Kristall module. Space Vision System (SVS) and target assembly expediments had been performed in 1992 by Steve MacLean (STS-52 mission CANEX-2 experiments). The Shuttle-MIR Program lasted from 1994 to 1998, and MIR deorbited and broke up over the South Pacific on March 23, 2001. One of the legacies of MIR, cooperation from 15 nations and 5 space agencies (NASA, Russia, CSA, ESA, JAXA) paved the way for the International Space Station.
Function: Used to represent the solar arrays that are part of the larger MIR space staion model
