Scientific paper

On March 23, 2001, MIR was de-orbited in a controlled fashion, following a successful mission of 15 years. The de-orbiting operations were conducted by the TsUP Mission Control Center, who also consulted entities outside Russia, in order to consolidate their knowledge on the MIR orbit and attitude prior to the initiation of the de-orbit sequence. The European Space Agency ESA through their operations centre ESOC was tasked to support the pre-entry analysis of TsUP by own results, and by routing of Russian and European data via a dedicated communications network. Analysis results produced by ESOC, and details on the data exchange will be highlighted in this paper. The MIR de-orbit and its assessed risk potential will also be compared with the re-entries of Skylab and Salyut-7/Kosmos-1686.
