The MIR space station is the first long-lasting station and in recent years has played an important role in acquiring experience for the ISS International Space Station under construction. But the expiration date is very complete. However, the Russian authorities want to keep it going despite not having enough money for it.

Therefore, a special advertising campaign was carried out in order to attract users of the station. It seems that they have achieved it, because it seems that in August, instead of being eliminated, they have agreed sufficient revenues to last until the end of the year, both with companies that want to devote themselves to research and with those that they have donated remain in space.
