Claudie Andre-Deshays

from the French Space Agency...

a lot of German astronauts

getting ready to fly on the MIR.

Folks from many different countries

training to fly with the Russians.

You get a chance to socialize

and compare experiences.

Anatoly and his family live

in a comfortable apartment in Star City.

I have lived in Star City for 20 years.

I have a wife and two sons,

and I have a dog.

Anatoly and Nik will train

for their shuttle launch in Texas.

Now it's their turn for some culture shock.

When we first came to Texas,

it was quite unusual for us...

that we were so popular.

Every day we were asked

to a social occasion...

and this was very pleasant for us.

This is the home of Astronaut Ellen Baker.

She and crewmate Bonnie Dunbar...

will join Charlie and the two cosmonauts

aboard Atlantis...

the first shuttle to dock with MIR.

And the handoff has been completed.

This is the first mission

to exchange Russian and American crews.

It'll bring back Norm Thagard,

the first American to live on MIR.

Norm and his cosmonaut crewmates

have been four months in space.

10, 9, 8, 7, go for main engines.

- Wow!

- Is that cool or what?

The pilot has to control

eight parameters simultaneously...

to make this a successful docking.

You have two 100-ton vehicles

that are going to collide...

and you can cause great destruction

if you don't do that exactly right.

If it is not in the right position.'

left, right, up, down, in or out...

it will not mate correctly.

But even more complex,

we had to combine our position...

our orientation, our speed

and our time of arrival...

so we would be over Russia...

for ground communications with Moscow

plus or minus two minutes.

It shows about...

three feet.

Fifty seconds.

The module looks pretty good here.

Forty seconds.

It's two feet.

Twenty-five seconds.

And we have overlap.

. 1106.

Eight inches.

- . 1 or.07?

- 106.

Four inches.

We have capture.

Mission Commander Hoot Gibson

opens the hatch.

Just the kind of thing

that was totally unexpected.

You open the hatch

and the first comment was.'

"No, you guys are upside down."

Congratulations, Space Shuttle Atlantis,

Space Station MIR.

After 20 years,

our spacecraft are docked in orbit again.

Anatoly, being the veteran cosmonaut

that he was...

had been there many times before.

For Nikolai, it had to be very exciting

because this was his first visit to the MIR.

The crew that was operating the station

when we arrived was...

the Mission Commander,

Vladimir Dezhurov...

and the "boort engineer,"

or flight engineer, Gennady Strekalov.

The base block

is the central module of MIR...
