STS079-353-023 (16-26 Sept. 1996) --- Cosmonaut Valeri Korzun, Mir-22 commander, is pictured near the camera rack on the Russian Mir Space Station's Base Block Module. The photograph was taken by astronaut Shannon W. Lucid. She later told an assembly of her Houston co-workers that she was able to experience the unique opportunity of serving with four different mission commanders in a span of approximately six months. Cosmonauts Korzun and Aleksandr Kaleri, flight engineer, had earlier welcomed astronaut John E. Blaha aboard Mir as Lucid's replacement as cosmonaut guest researcher.
