What's Mir?

Oh, THAT Mir  :)

The orbit # is fairly abritrary, and often wrong.  Best thing to do is ignore
them.

I'm working on it.  Give me a chance.  It will probably take a few years  :(

--------------------

Now I have some questions.


The cover of FLASH magazine has STS and a Russian spacecraft.

What is the Russian craft?

What is the word printed on it ( KPNCTA|| ) ?

What does the near-by 94-42 represent?

What is VERENIGING VOOR STERRENKUNDE ?

What is KUNSTMANEN ?

Thanks.
