Russia’s Mir Space Station was deorbited over the South Pacific Ocean.
Mir’s first components were launched into Earth’s atmosphere in 1986 when Russia was still the Soviet Union. Over the next fifteen years, Mir orbited Earth 86,331 times and was occupied for 4,592 days. It was ultimately decommissioned due to a lack of funding. After retrieving anything of value that could easily be removed, the space station was deorbited. Much of the station burnt up during re-entry, with the remainder falling into the ocean.
