Description

AMERICAN CREW OF APOLLO-SOYUZ MISSION

ASTP CREWMEN – These three NASA astronauts will be the United States crew for the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project mission. The prime crewmen for the joint U. S. – Soviet Union Earth-orbital space flight are, left to right, Donald K. Slayton, docking module pilot; Vance D. Brand, command module pilot; and Thomas P. Stafford, commander. The American and Soviet crews will visit one another’s spacecraft while the Soyuz and Apollo are docked in Earth orbit for a maximum period of two days. The mission is designed to test equipment and techniques that will establish international crew rescue capability in space, as well as permit future cooperative scientific missions.
