About this work

STS081-E-05436 (15 Jan. 1997) --- Soon after the astronauts docked the space shuttle Atlantis with Russia's Mir Space Station, astronaut Marsha S. Ivins, STS-81 mission specialist, went aboard the Mir complex and sought a window through which she could record this image of Atlantis' forward section. A solar array panel on the Mir is seen in one corner and the Ku-band antenna for Atlantis is visible in another. This view was taken with an electronic still camera (ESC).
