About This Item

Mir Space Station Patch

Russia's Mir Space Station was in orbit for over 15 years. The first element of the station was launched on February 20, 1986 and reentered the atmosphere on March 23, 2001. This is an official Arm Patch like the ones worn by the cosmonauts that lived aboard the space station

It has arrived in Baikonur, Kazakhstan and will go to Area 81 Pad 24 tomorrow. This is the pad from which many of the Mir modules were launched.

I picked this up yesterday. Unfortunately, I just got back from Baikonur on 03 April. Because it is difficult for the average Geocacher to get into Baikonur (it is still a restricted Russian Missile Base 1300 miles Southeast of Moscow) I will hold on to it until I go back in June or July. I have to figure out a way to log it in, perhaps I will make a virtual cache with rough coordinates - GPS units are not allowed on the base, but we know the location of Pads 23-24-39, from which we could see launches supplying Mir.
