THE MIR-SHUTTLE docking occurred 20 years after the Americans and Russians first met in space, when an Apollo craft linked up with a Soyuz for 47 hours in 1975. THE SHUTTLE DOCKED with a port on the Kristall module, which, for reasons of stability, was moved from its usual berth and temporarily attached to the end port of the multiple docking adapter.
