The "russian" space station ;)

Made me chuckle ... sorry.

Most other countries call it the International Space station for obvious reasons.

Too bad they don't have higher resolution pictures. Some of them would make for great wallpapers.

Huh?

That's clearly Mir in one of the photos. Meaning at least that photo is really old.

So OP had it right... RUSSIAN SPACE STATION.

And the one with the Canadarm... well the space shuttle did visit Mir a few times.

100% NOT Mir. Those are Russian Progress cargo modules.
