STS-86 Launch
The Space Shuttle Atlantis blazes through the night sky to begin the STS-86 mission, slated to be the seventh of nine planned dockings of the Space Shuttle with the Russian Space Station Mir. Liftoff on September 25 from Launch Pad 39A was at 10:34 p.m. EDT, within seconds of the preferred time, during a six minute, 45 second launch window. The 10 day flight will include the transfer of the sixth U.S. astronaut to live and work aboard the Mir. After the docking, STS-86 Mission Specialist David A. Wolf will become a member of the Mir 24 crew, replacing astronaut C. Michael Foale, who will return to Earth aboard Atlantis with the remainder of the STS-86 crew. Foale has been on the Russian Space Station since mid May. Wolf is scheduled to remain there about four months. Besides Wolf (embarking to Mir) and Foale (returning), the STS-86 crew includes Commander James D. Wetherbee, Pilot Michael J. Bloomfield, and Mission Specialists Wendy B. Lawrence, Scott E. Parazynski, Vladimir Georgievich Titov of the Russian Space Agency, and Jean-Loup J.M. Chretien of the French Space Agency, CNES. Other primary objectives of the mission are a spacewalk by Parazynski and Titov, and the exchange of about 3.5 tons of science/logistical equipment and supplies between Atlantis and the Mir

EDITORS COMMENTS
STS-86 Launch: A Spectacular Nighttime Journey to the Mir Space Station". In this breathtaking photo print, the mighty Space Shuttle Atlantis pierces through the velvety darkness of the night sky, marking the commencement of an extraordinary mission. On September 25th, at precisely 10:34 p. m. EDT, Atlantis gracefully lifted off from Launch Pad 39A with impeccable timing and precision. This monumental STS-86 mission is set to be a pivotal moment in space exploration history as it represents the seventh docking between a Space Shuttle and Russia's renowned space station, Mir. Over ten days, this daring expedition will witness an incredible transfer - that of the sixth U. S. astronaut who will join his Russian counterparts aboard Mir. Mission Specialist David A. Wolf assumes his role within the esteemed Mir 24 crew after replacing astronaut C. Michael Foale who has been residing on Mir since mid-May. As Foale returns to Earth alongside his fellow STS-86 crew members onboard Atlantis, Wolf prepares for an extended stay of approximately four months on this remarkable outpost. Commander James D. Wetherbee leads this exceptional team which includes Pilot Michael J. Bloomfield and Mission Specialists Wendy B. Lawrence and Scott E. Parazynski among others from both NASA and international agencies. Beyond its primary objectives of facilitating crucial equipment exchanges between Atlantis and Mir, including a staggering 3.5 tons of science supplies, STS-86 also promises captivating moments such as Parazynski's and Titov's thrilling spacewalks. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image capturing humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge amidst boundless frontiers, we are reminded once again that our collective dreams can propel us towards unimaginable heights.
