Abstract / Summary

In the early 1990s, the two world leaders of space exploration agreed to cooperate in a series of space missions. Referred to as the Shuttle-Mir Program, this partnership between the United States and Russia created opportunities for an extraordinary exchange of expertise and knowledge, producing numerous advancements to benefit future human spaceflight expeditions. To help document this historic time period, the Shuttle-Mir Oral History Project began in 1998 to capture the thoughts and experiences of the American and Russian team members. Their efforts impacted the design, policies, and operational procedures of Phase 1, International Space Station.
