I have seen many fragments around Mir but on June 15, 1996 there was a real spectacle going on with at least some 35 fragments leading and trailing Mir. I was able to identify 86-17KQ, 86-17KU, 86-17KP, 86-17LE, 86-17KL, 86-17KZ, 86-17LC, 86-17LA, 86-17LK, 86-17LH, 86-17LG and 86-17LR. One of these fragments was probably a large inflatable Pepsi can(for commercial purposes). I was never able to assign this Pespsi can to one of the Cospar numbers I identified.
