Imax Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation in association with the Smithsonian Institution's National Air And Space Museum present “Mission To Mir” filmed in space by the astronauts with the co-operation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Director (Russia) Ivan Galin; Director of Photography James Neihouse; Music by Micky Erbe and Maribeth Solomon; Executive Producers Andrew Gellis and Jonathan Barker; Producers Toni Myers and Graeme Ferguson

American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts have joined forces 200 miles above the Earth as the space shuttle links with Space Station Mir. In Mission To Mir, IMAX® cameras have captured the excitement and emotion of these dramatic events which herald the next age of space exploration.

Putting aside the days of the Cold War, we go behind the scenes of the Russian space program which was, until recently, accessible only to a few. Now we can explore Star City where Russians and Americans together are preparing for upcoming missions; thrill to a thunderous Soyuz launch at Baikonur; and witness the in-orbit drama of the Mir-Shuttle rendezvous.
