During the Debris survey of the Space Station Mir, Space Shuttle photography and video were able to document damage that occured after the collision between the Mir Space Station and an unmanned Progress supply craft. In this photo, the extreme damage to one of Mir's solar arrays, which provide power for the station, is evident. Photographs like this one, helped ground personnel see the extent of some of the damage.
