STS079-S-062 (16-26 Sept. 1996) --- Astronaut John E. Blaha, here serving as a cosmonaut guest researcher onboard Russia's Mir Space Station, is pictured on the Spektr Module during his "move" from the Space Shuttle Atlantis. During the STS-79 mission, the crew used an IMAX camera to document activities aboard the space shuttle Atlantis and the various Mir modules. A hand-held version of the 65mm camera system accompanied the STS-79 crew into space in Atlantis' crew cabin. NASA has flown IMAX camera systems on many shuttle missions, including a special cargo bay camera's coverage of other recent Shuttle-Mir rendezvous and/or docking missions.
