Launched on September 16, 1996, STS-79 was the first US shuttle mission to reach the fully completed Mir space station.  The mission also included the first American crewmember exchange – the return of Shannon Lucid.  Lucid had spent 188 days in space, a world record for a female astronaut.  The mission came to an end on September 26.
