Description

English: This view of the Space Shuttle Atlantis still connected to Russia's Mir Space Station was photographed by the Mir-19 crew on July 4, 1995. Cosmonauts Anatoliy Y. Solovyev and Nikolai M. Budarin, Mir-19 Commander and Flight Engineer, respectively, temporarily undocked the Soyuz spacecraft from the cluster of Mir elements to perform a brief fly-around. They took pictures while the STS-71 crew, with Mir-18's three crew members aboard, undocked Atlantis for the completion of this leg of the joint activities. Solovyev and Budarin had been taxied to the Mir Space Station by the STS-71 ascent trip of Atlantis.

Français : Vue de la navette spatiale Atlantis amarée à la station spatiale soviétique Mir, photographiée par l'équipage de Mir-19 le 4 juillet 1995. Les cosmonautes Anatoli Y Soloviev et Nikolaï M. Boudarine, respectivement commandant et ingénieur de vol de Mir-19, ont brièvement détaché leur vaisseau Soyouz de l'ensemble d'éléments formant Mir pour effectuer un bref vol autour de la station. Ils ont pris cette photographie alors qu' Atlantis, avec les trois membres de Mir-18 à son bord, se détache de la station à la fin de cette phase de la mission conjointe. Soloviev et Boudarine avaient été transportés vers Mir par le vol STS-71 d'Atlantis.
