List of spacecraft and crews that visited Mir
- List of spacecraft and crews that visited Mir
This is a list of the spacecraft and crews that visited the Russian space station Mir.
Mir's core was originally launched on 19 February 1986. It was largely assembled while in orbit and had many short-term crew (about a week aboard the station) as well as many long-term crew (from 6 months up to Valeri Polyakov's 14 month stay beginning January 1994, which still holds the record for longest spaceflight).
Many of the crew who visited Mir used different spacecraft to launch than they did to land; the first such examples were Alexander Viktorenko and Muhammed Faris who flew up in Soyuz TM-3 (launched 22 July 1987) and landed a week later in Soyuz TM-2 (on 30 July 1987), as illustrated in the table. The largest crew aboard Mir simultaneously (not including the NASA Space Shuttle missions) was 6, which first occurred with the launch of Soyuz TM-7 on 26 November 1988 and lasted for just over three weeks - also illustrated in the table. The station existed until 23 March 2001, at which point it was deliberately de-orbited and broke apart during atmospheric reentry.
