STS-71 6/95 |
This view of Russia's Mir Space Station following its undocking from the Space
Shuttle Atlantis (out of frame) 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
