The cosmonauts are Pavel V. Vinogradov, flight engineer (wearing communication headset in left background), and Anatoliy Y. Solovyev, commander (right foreground). The closing of the hatch ends the eighth Shuttle/Mir joint docking activities. The STS-89 crew brought astronaut Andrew S. W. Thomas to replace astronaut David A. Wolf as cosmonaut guest researcher. Thomas will be the last American astronaut to serve a tour aboard the Russian Mir Space Station. This ESC view was taken on January 28, 1998, at 22:30:07 GMT.
