STS084-350-001 (15-24 May 1997) --- Several hundred feet away, Russia's Mir Space Station moves closer and closer to the approaching Space Shuttle Atlantis, as captured on film from the aft flight deck of the space shuttle. Not long after this photo was made, the two spacecraft were docked, a configuration in which they stayed for several days while the two crews conducted joint activities.
