The Space Shuttle Atlantis approaches the docking node on the Kristall Module of Russia's Mir Space Station. The photograph was taken by one of the Mir-18 crew members prior to docking. The Spacelab science module and the tunnel connecting it to the crew cabin, as well as the added mechanism for interface with Mir's docking system can be easily seen.
