STS074-320-019 (15 Nov 1995) --- The five NASA astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis look out overhead windows on the aft flight deck toward their counterparts aboard the Russian Mir Space Station, with which they had just rendezvoused. For orientation purposes, the photo should be held with the nose at frame?s left edge. The STS-74 crew members (from the top) are astronauts Kenneth D. Cameron, mission commander; Jerry L. Ross, mission specialist; James D. Halsell Jr., pilot; William S. McArthur Jr., and Canadian astronaut Chris A. Hadfield, both mission specialists. The flight began with a November 12, 1995, launch from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and ended with landing there on November 20, 1995. On November 15, 1995, the Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with Russia?s Mir Space Station, on which the STS-74 astronauts joined the Mir-20 crew. The Mir-20 crew is composed of cosmonauts Yuriy P. Gidzenko, commander; and Sergei V. Avdeyev, engineer; along with the European Space Agency?s (ESA) Thomas Reiter, cosmonaut researcher. Joint activities on Mir Space Station and the Space Shuttle ended November 18, 1995, when the two spacecraft separated.
