Story about the MIR spacelab. In the mid 90's I was asked by a fellow HAM radio guy to provide a video conference system for the MIR space station. I managed to get the PictureTel Corp to volunteer the VCS system that we stripped down to just the bare circuit boards and set it up for packet radio. The HAM radio guy somehow got these sent up on a resupply shot. I worked with the HAM guy on installation instructions. We found a Russian engineer who could translate the installation instructions. It got installed and worked good.
