| Atlantis approaches Mir
Backdropped against a "floor" of clouds, this view of
Atlantis was taken by the two Mir-21 cosmonaut crew members onboard
Russia's Mir space station, during rendezvous and docking operations.
Part of a solar array panel connected to the Mir is seen in the foreground. The orbiter
docking system (ODS), the connective tunnel and the Spacehab module can be seen in
Atlantis' cargo bay.
