The first module of Russia's Mir Space Station launched 10 years ago, on February 20, 1986. Mir has expanded significantly in orbit with additional modules, including the Kvant Astrophysics Module in 1987. NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with Mir in 1995, beginning a series of joint flights. This wide-angle view shows Mir poised above Earth.
