1994: Space Shuttle Flight 60 (STS-60) - Discovery/Mir (NASA/RSA)

STS-60 was the first mission of the US/Russian Shuttle-Mir programme, which carried the first Russian cosmonaut, Sergei K. Krikalev, to fly aboard a Space Shuttle.

It launched on 3 February 1994 and the crew were Charles F. Bolden, Kenneth S. Reightler Jr., N. Jan Davis, Ronald M. Sega, Franklin R. Chang-Diaz, Sergei K. Krikalev.

The mission used Space Shuttle Discovery, which lifted off from launch pad 39A on 3 February 1994 from Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

The mission carried the Wake Shield Facility experiment and a SPACEHAB module into orbit, and carried out a live bi-directional audio and downlink link-up with the cosmonauts aboard the Russian space station Mir.

Sergei K. Krikalev seems to spend more time in space than on Earth. In addition to this flight, he also did a tour on Mir, and two tours on the ISS.
