IMAX : Mission To Mir (1997) - Documentary 40.03 min.(Video)

220 miles above Earth at a speed of 17,500 mph while aboard the most complex scientific project ever assembled: the international Space Station. Tom Cruise narrates this fascinating look at the high-flying laboratory where today's space heroes develop technologies to make possible future voyages to Mars and provide solutions to earthbound problems. Highlights include the station's in-orbit construction, plus amazing glimpses of crew members as they work.

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.

MISSION TO MIR is a presentation of Imax Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation in association with The National Air and Space Museum and produced with the cooperation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
