Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, NASA and Russian Space Agency officials signed agreements in 1993 and 1994 to plan and develop an international space station. As a step in that direction, a series of joint missions involving Mir and U.S. space shuttles were undertaken. Shuttles docked with Mir from 1995 through 1998. Astronauts and cosmonauts worked together on experiments, and a number of U.S. astronauts spent many months living on Mir.
