synopsis

Earth-bound audiences can soar into space and experience life aboard the first long-term space station--Mir. Since March 1995, NASA astronauts have served as crew members aboard the Russian Space Station Mir. The NASA program supporting this endeavor is commonly known as International Space Station Phase 1. MISSION TO MIR is a filmed journal of this historic alliance. Filmed in space by the astronauts, this unprecedented 40-minute, giant-screen tour of Russia's Space Station Mir gives viewers a unique look inside the weightless home in space that has been occupied by international teams of scientists since 1986. The film examines their relationships with Mir's cosmonauts as they live, work and entertain in a zero-gravity environment. Join record-setting space pioneer Shannon W. Lucid with her colleagues inside their weightless home against a panorama of spectacular space scenery.
