View of the shuttle orbiter Atlantis from the Mir Space Station

STS076-370-020 (22 - 31 March 1996) --- This photo of the forward part of the Space Shuttle Atlantis was taken from Russia's Mir Space Station as the two spacecraft jointly orbited Earth in late March 1996. The large rectangular object in the immediate foreground is one of the solar array panels for Mir. The two spacecraft were in the midst of their third link-up in Earth-orbit. With the subsequent delivery of astronaut Shannon W. Lucid to the Mir, the Mir-21 crew grew from two to three, as the mission specialist temporarily became a cosmonaut guest researcher. She is to spend approximately 140 days on Mir before returning to Earth.
