Life on Mars?
The collision of an unmanned Progress supply spacecraft with the Mir space station, and resulting decompression of the Spektr module, on June 25 has brought the status of the 11-year-old station to the attention of the world. The station has suffered from a series of problems over the past several months, but Russian and American officials say good research is still being done on the station, and the experience gained there will be useful for the upcoming International Space Station. This SpaceViews special section will provide more information on the current situation on Mir, its recent history, and offer references to other online resources about Mir.
