STS-74, launched November 12, 1995, was the 73rd launch of the Space Shuttle (the 15th for orbiter Atlantis) and the second docking mission with the Russian Space Station Mir. This mission also marked the first time astronauts from the European Space Agency, Canada, Russia and the U.S were in space on the same complex at one time.

The attached STS-74 crew patch was launched aboard Atlantis to Mir, where it was then marked with the station's postal cancellation device (verifying its status as flown).
