Apollo Soyuz

NASA educational booklet (EP-109) on the July 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, illustrated with a painting of the docked Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft over Earth on its cover. Ten chapters carry the mission from planning to legacy — The Meeting, The Mission, The Background, The Spacecraft, The Meanings, The Scientific Experiments, The Men, The Mementos, The Reentry, and The Look Ahead — followed by appendix tables of the Brezhnev-Ford crew statements, mission timeline, list of “firsts,” program officials, scientific experiments, and major Apollo contractors. As the preface frames it, the two-day docking of a three-man Apollo and two-man Soyuz in a 225-kilometer orbit was history’s first international crewed spaceflight, watched live by television audiences as the crews shared meals, exchanged gifts, and ran joint experiments.
