Mir-2 (1993) | KSP Alternate History | Part 1/4

Mir-2 was a Soviet space station project which began in February 1976. Some of the modules built for Mir-2 have been incorporated into the International Space Station (ISS). The project underwent many changes but was always based on the DOS-8 base block space station core module, built as a back-up to the DOS-7 base block used in the Mir station. The DOS-8 base block was eventually used as the Zvezda module of the ISS.

Disclaimer: There are some elements of this project that does not match up with the original proposal, like the inclusion of the Energia rockets. This is just my what-if series where the station was built with the Energia rocket family (both real and proposed concepts).

The original proposal on how the station would have been built can be found here:
