STS089-716-019 (22-31 Jan. 1998) --- A series of 70mm still shots was recorded of Russia's Mir Space Station from the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Endeavour following undocking of the two spacecraft. Among the medium close-ups of Mir, this survey view was provided during a "fly-around" by Endeavour. Onboard the Mir at this point were cosmonaut Anatoly Y. Solovyev, commander; Pavel V. Vinogradov, flight engineer; and Andrew S. W. Thomas, cosmonaut guest researcher. Onboard Endeavour were Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt, commander; Joe F. Edwards Jr., pilot; Bonnie J. Dunbar, payload commander; mission specialists David A. Wolf (former cosmonaut guest researcher), Michael P. Anderson, James F. Reilly, and Salizhan S. Sharipov representing Russian Space Agency (RSA). Photo credit: NASA
