STS-76 marked the first flight of a SPACEHAB pressurized module to support Shuttle-Mir dockings. The single module primarily served as a stowage area for a large supply of equipment for transfer to space station, but also carried the <a href="/wiki/European_Space_Agency" title="European Space Agency">European Space Agency</a>'s Biorack experiment rack for on-orbit research. </p><p><i>Atlantis</i> hooked up with Mir on flight day three, following same R-bar approach employed on <a href="/wiki/STS-74" title="STS-74">STS-74</a>. Actual connection between Orbiter Docking System and the Kristall module's docking port occurred at 02:50 UTC<sup id="cite_ref-ssmr-sts76_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ssmr-sts76-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 4">: 4 </span></sup> on 24 March 1996. Hatches opened a little less than two hours later. Awaiting <i>Atlantis</i> arrival were Mir 21 Commander <a href="/wiki/Yury_Onufriyenko" title="Yury Onufriyenko">Yury Onufriyenko</a> and Flight Engineer <a href="/wiki/Yuri_Usachov" title="Yuri Usachov">Yuri Usachov</a>, who were launched to Mir on 21 February 1996. In July, they were joined by Mir 22 Commander <a href="/wiki/Valery_Korzun" title="Valery Korzun">Valery Korzun</a>, Flight Engineer <a href="/wiki/Aleksandr_Kaleri" title="Aleksandr Kaleri">Aleksandr Kaleri</a> and <a href="/wiki/CNES" title="CNES">CNES</a> astronaut <a href="/wiki/Claudie_Haigner%C3%A9" title="Claudie Haigneré">Claudie André-Deshays</a>. After a two-week stay, André-Deshays would return to Earth with Onufriyenko and Usachov while Korzun and Kaleri remained on board with Lucid. </p><p>During five days of docked operations, about 680 kg (1,500 lb) of water and two tons of scientific equipment, logistical material and resupply items were transferred to Mir. Experiment samples and miscellaneous equipment brought over to orbiter. In Biorack, 11 separate scientific investigations were conducted. Study topics included the effect of microgravity and cosmic radiation on plants, tissues, cells, bacteria and insects, and the effects of microgravity on bone loss. Also transferred to the station were the Mir Glovebox Stowage (MGBX) equipment to replenish the glovebox already on station, the Queen's University Experiment in Liquid Diffusion (QUELD) flown in the orbiter's middeck locker, and the High Temperature Liquid Phase Sintering (LPS) experiment. </p><p>On flight day six, Godwin and Clifford conducted what some claim to be the first U.S. <a href="/wiki/Extravehicular_activity" title="Extravehicular activity">extravehicular activity</a> (EVA) around two mated spacecraft. However, this appears to ignore the <a href="/wiki/Apollo_9" title="Apollo 9">Apollo 9</a> EVA, and EVAs during <a href="/wiki/Skylab" title="Skylab">Skylab</a>. During six-hour, two-minute, 28-second EVA, they attached four <a href="/wiki/Mir_Environmental_Effects_Payload" title="Mir Environmental Effects Payload">Mir Environmental Effects Payload</a> (MEEP) experiments to the station's docking module - designed to characterize the environment around Mir over an 18-month period.
