This view of the Space Shuttle Atlantis still connected to Russia's Mir Space
Station was photographed by the Mir-19 crew on July 4, 1995. Cosmonauts Anatoliy
Y. Solovyev and Nikolai M. Budarin, Mir-19 commander and flight engineer, respectively,
temporarily unparked the Soyuz spacecraft from the cluster of Mir elements to
perform a brief fly-around. They took pictures while the NASA STS-71 crew, with
Mir-18's three crewmembers aboard, undocked Atlantis for the completion of this
leg of the joint activities. Solovyev and Budarin had been taxied to Mir by
the STS-71 ascent trip of Atlantis. RUSSIA SPACE AGENCY PHOTO COURTESY OF NASA
