Retro Space HD | STS-71 Full Mission - 1st MIR Docking - Shuttle Atlantis, Russian Space Station, Historical Footage @RetroSpaceHD | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
Documentary about the STS-71 mission, entirely based on historical narration, mission audio and footage. The full mission is covered, showing crew, launch, space station approach, MIR docking, space station MIR tour, undocking and fly around, views from the shuttle, MIR and Soyus, and shuttle landing.
As the third mission of the US/Russian Shuttle-Mir Program, STS-71 became the first Space Shuttle to dock with the Russian space station Mir. STS-71 began on June 27, 1995, with the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis from launchpad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Shuttle delivered a relief crew of two cosmonauts Anatoly Solovyev and Nikolai Budarin to the station and recovered Increment astronaut Norman Thagard. Atlantis returned to Earth on July 7 with a crew of eight. It was the first of seven straight missions to Mir flown by Atlantis, and the second Shuttle mission to land with an eight-person crew after STS-61-A in 1985.
STS-71 crew: Robert L. Gibson, Charles J. Precourt, Ellen S. Baker, Gregory J. Harbaugh, Bonnie J. Dunbar

The footage was upscaled and cleaned up using Topaz AI with further color and level correction. Ambient audio was recreated based on historical elements. Sequences are shown in proper mission context as much as possible.
Historical narration (from mission commentary, NASA documentaries and progress reports, and TV and radio broadcasts) is used in an attempt to capture the feeling of the times. Language and attitudes should be seen in that context.
