Summary edit

File information
Description	A view of the Russian space station Mir on 3 July 1993 as seen from Soyuz TM-17. The image is unusual in that it shows ongoing docking operations; Progress M-17 can be seen docked to Kvant-1 and Soyuz TM-16 to Kristall, with Progress M-18 in the process of vacating the core module's forward port to allow Soyuz TM-17 to dock there.
