STS-74
Launch: November 12, 1995
Landing: November 20, 1995
Astronauts: Kenneth D. Cameron, James D. Halsell Jr., Jerry L. Ross, William S. McArthur Jr. and Chris A. Hadfield
Space Shuttle: Atlantis
During mated operations, nearly 1,000 pounds (453.6 kilograms) of water transferred to Mir. Numerous experiment samples, including blood, urine and saliva, were moved to orbiter for return to Earth. Shuttle crew also brought up gifts, including Canadian maple sugar candies and a guitar (second guitar on Mir). Lithium hydroxide canisters -- a late addition -- were transferred to Mir in case faulty environmental control system failed again and station's air needed to be "scrubbed."
