The Apollo Soyuz mission was the first manned space flight conducted jointly by two nations. The United States and the U.S.S.R. achieved a substantial degree of success in: (1) obtaining flight experience for rendezvous and docking of manned spacecraft and developing a docking system that would be suitable for use as a standard international system, (2) demonstrating in-flight intervehicular crew transfer, and (3) conducting a series of science and applications experiments. The Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft, with minor exceptions, were similar to those flown on previous missions, but a new Apollo module, the docking module, was built specifically for this mission. The mission started with the Soyuz launch on July 15, 1975, followed by the Apollo launch on the same day. Docking of the two spacecraft occurred on July 17, and joint operations were conducted for 2 days. Both spacecraft landed safely and on schedule; the Soyuz landing in the U.S.S.R. occurred on July 21, and the Apollo landing near Hawaii occurred on July 24. Twenty-eight science experiments were performed during the mission.
