Description
Meeting In Space: This artist's concept depicts the historic moment, scheduled for July 17, when an American astronaut and cosmonaut will greet one another as their Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft are docked together while orbiting the Earth 225 kilometers (140 miles) out in space. The joint Apollo Soyuz Test Project mission will mark the first time that manned spacecraft of two nations have met in space for joint engineering and scientific investigations.
