Synopsis: Destination
Mir follows 12 or 13 American civilians through several
weeks of grueling physical and psychological trials at a
Russian cosmonaut training camp near Moscow. Each week,
one unlucky contestant will be sent home. The last remaining
contestant will win a trip to space, traveling in style
aboard a Soyuz spacecraft bound for the Mir Space Station.
However, the
Russian Aviation and Space Agency and Mir's operator, RKK
Energia, has set March 6, 2001, as the day for administering
a "killing pulse" to the Mir Space Station, putting
it out of orbit once and for all. So, if the space station
falls out of orbit, "Destination Mir" will not
have a destination.
