Description:
On May 31, 1990, the Soviet Union launched a new module to the Mir space station. <br/><br/>The new component was named Kristall, and it was the third addition sent to Mir since the core module launched in 1986. Including the core module, Mir consisted of seven different modules. Each of them launched individually on Russian Proton rockets, with the exception of one that went up on the space shuttle Atlantis in 1995. Mir was the world's first modular space station to be assembled in orbit. Kristall was 45 feet long and weighed about 20 tons. The module consisted of two main sections. One section was dedicated to experiments with materials science and biotechnology as well as astronomical observations. The other section was used as a docking compartment that would allow American space shuttles to visit the station. Kristall lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and docked with Mir 10 days later.

_otd-in-space-june-1-endeavours-final-touchdown.webp "On June 1, 2011, NASA's space shuttle Endeavor touched down safely for the final time at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida after spending 299 days in space throughout the course of its 25 flights.<br/><br/>Endeavour was built as a replacement for the shuttle Challenger, which was lost in the 1986 accident that also killed its seven-astronaut crew. Congress authorized the construction of Endeavour in 1987, and the orbiter first blasted off in 1992. Its final launch occurred on May 16, 2011, sending a six-member crew into orbit on NASA's STS-134 mission. This last mission delivered the Express Logistics Carrier-3 and the $1.1 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to the International Space Station. Endeavour had many successful missions during its run, one of the most famous being the start of construction on the ISS. The 1998 mission took the U.S. Unity node, or the passageway that connects the working and living modules, to space and joined it to the Russian Zarya module, which was already in orbit. This attachment led to it becoming an international space station. Currently, Endeavour sits in the California Science Center in Los Angeles as a year-round exhibit.")
