Fish-eye view of the Space Shuttle Atlantis as seen from the Russian Mir space station during the STS-71 mission. Docked already with Russia’s Mir Space Station and backdropped against a half globe of Earth featuring the Crimean Peninsula, the space shuttle Atlantis is partially visible through a window on the Kvant 2 Module. A 70mm camera, carried into space by the STS-71 crew aboard the space shuttle Atlantis, was used to expose the image.
