Kavandi, and Valery Victorovitch Ryumin can be seen performing pre-launch activities such as eating the traditional breakfast, crew suit-up, and the ride out to the launch pad. Also, included are various panoramic views of the shuttle on the pad. The crew is readied in the 'white room' for their mission. After the closing of the hatch and arm retraction, launch activities are shown including countdown, engine ignition, launch, and the separation of the Solid Rocket Boosters.

The astronauts and cosmonauts transfer supplies from the shuttle to Mir. The astronauts prepare for the reentry phase of their mission. The Shuttle separates from the Russian Space Station with a gentle push from springs in the docking mechanism that attaches it to the Space Station. The final view shows the crews' preparations for reentry and landing.
