When was Mir launched?
The internet seems unclear on this:
- This page say the 19th
- NASA says the 19th, https://www.nasa.gov/history/35-years-ago-launch-of-mir-space-stations-first-module/
- ESA says the 20th, https://www.esa.int/About_Us/Corporate_news/Mir_FAQs_-_Facts_and_history
- EB says 20th, https://www.britannica.com/topic/Mir-Soviet-Russian-space-station
- NY Times said "today" on the 20th, https://www.nytimes.com/1986/02/20/us/russians-launch-a-space-station.html
- BBC says 20th, http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/20/newsid_4713000/4713752.stm
- Popular Mechanics says 20th, https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a19517/mir-space-station-30th-anniversary/
- This log of launches says specifically the 19th at 21:28 UTC (which would have been the 20th at the launch site in Kazakhstan), https://www.orbitalfocus.uk/Diaries/StationsMir/1986.php (but I have no idea how trustworthy this log is)
- Mir Core Module says 20th
It certainly seems like it should be the 20th if we're counting from where it was launched. Coderanger0 (talk) 06:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- 19 February 1986 at 21:28:23 UTC. See the second entry in the table at List of Proton launches (1980–1989)#1986. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 08:15, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Photo of final configuration
The infobox might be improved by using this photo of the final configuration of Mir. Any objections, or reasons to continue using the current image?
