Just BTW, Comos 1686 is the direct ancestor of the Mir expansion modules --Kvant 2, Kristall, Priroda, and Spektr-- as well as the Zarya component of the International Space Station. The configuration of the ISS after launch of Zvezda in July (?) will be quite similar to the overall configuration of Salyut 7 + Cosmos 1686 at the end of its occupation in 1986. -Frank E.
