FDC Soyuz Apollo cancel in Baykanur comodrome Space Mision 1975, USSR, Russia

Description: Apollo–Soyuz was the first manned international space mission, carried out jointly by the United States and the Soviet Union in July 1975. Millions of people around the world watched on television as a United States Apollo module docked with a Soviet Union Soyuz capsule. The project, and its memorable handshake in space, was a symbol of détente between the two superpowers during the Cold War, and it is generally considered to mark the end of the Space Race, which had begun in 1957 with the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik 1. The mission was officially known as the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP; Russian: Экспериментальный полёт «Союз» – «Аполлон» (ЭПАС), romanized: Eksperimentalniy polyot Soyuz–Apollon (EPAS), lit. 'Experimental flight Apollo–Soyuz', and commonly referred to in the Soviet Union as Soyuz–Apollo; the Soviets officially designated the mission as Soyuz 19). In contrast, the American vehicle was unnumbered, as it was left over from the canceled Apollo missions; it was the last Apollo module to fly. The three American astronauts and two Soviet cosmonauts performed both joint and separate scientific experiments, including an arranged eclipse of the Sun by the Apollo module to allow instruments on the Soyuz to take photographs of the solar corona. The pre-flight work provided useful engineering experience for later joint American–Russian space flights, such as the Shuttle–Mir program and the International Space Station. Apollo–Soyuz was the last manned United States spaceflight for nearly six years until the first launch of the Space Shuttle on 12 April 1981, and the last manned United States spaceflight in a space capsule until Crew Dragon Demo-2 in May 2020.
