NM18-309-018 (28 June 1995) --- The Space Shuttle Atlantis orbits Earth at a point above Iraq as photographed by one of the Mir-18 crew members aboard Russia's Mir Space Station. The image was photographed prior to rendezvous and docking of the two spacecraft. The Spacelab science module and the tunnel connecting it to the crew cabin, as well as the added mechanism for interface with the Mir's docking system can be easily seen. The geography pictured is 60 miles northwest of Baghdad.
