Cosmonaut Valeriy V. Polyakov, who boarded Russia's Mir Space Station in 1994, looks out Mir's window during rendezvous with Space Shuttle Discovery. Onboard Discovery were astronauts James D. Wetherbee, commander; Eileen M. Collins, pilot; Bernard A. Harris, Jr., payload commander; mission specialists C. Michael Foale, Janice E. Voss, and cosmonaut Vladimir G. Titov. Shout out to the NASA History Office who is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA's remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological, and scientific aspects of NASA's activities in aeronautics and space.
