Shuttle-Mir Approach
The Space Shuttle Atlantis moves within 80 feet of Russia's Mir Space Station during rendezvous and docking operations. During the STS-74 mission, the crew used an IMAX camera to document the Space Shuttle Atlantis' rendezvous and docking with the Mir Space Station. The 65mm camera system was located in the Atlantis' cargo bay and provided a unique fish-eye perspective. These images were selected from footage that was incorporated in a large-format feature film about NASA's cooperative program with the Russians.
