Explanation:
Hundreds of kilometers above the
Earth's surface, the United States
Space Shuttle Atlantis docks with the Russian
Space Station Mir. The photograph
was taken by Nikolai Budarin from a Russian Soyuz spacecraft on July 4,
1995. During
this mission astronauts answered questions from school students over
amateur radio, and performed
life
science experiments aboard the
SpaceLab. The
SpaceLab
experiments were designed to understand how the
Russian Space program combats the effects on the human body of the
long-durations in space.
