Notes:
In July of 1975, the United States of America and
the Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic (USSR)
partook in a joint venture known as the Apollo Soyuz test Project. This
was the first joint mission between the two space faring nations, that
previously were engaged in the space race to get humans into space and
to land on the moon.
The main objectives of the mission was to test
compatibility of docking hardware and procedures for future space
flight missions. The Apollo spacecraft was a modified version of the
craft used for the lunar missions. The Soviet Soyuz was the workhouse
of the soviet program.
The mission was a technological success, a well as a
diplomatic one between the two super-powers.
