HR AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 331.05 FROM AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD, NOVEMBER 26, 2000
TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-331.05
Several news agencies are reporting the Mir space station will be ditched
this coming February in a controlled descent that will send it hurtling into
a remote area of the Pacific Ocean.
The Russian government had decided to abandon the Mir earlier this year,
but then extended its lifetime after a private company promised to pay for
its operation.
Currently, there is no human habitation aboard the station and the
onboard Amateur Radio equipment has been turned off.
Mir continues on 'autopilot'.
