Description: The Apollo–Soyuz program (officially the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, or ASTP) was a joint Soviet–American space mission that took place in 1975. It was the first international space mission in history, symbolizing détente during the Cold War. These figurines are very rare, very few of them were made, perhaps something is missing, I didn't find it. Key Events: • Launch Date: • Apollo: July 15, 1975 (Cape Canaveral, USA). • Soyuz 19: July 15, 1975 (Baikonur, USSR). • Docking: July 17, 1975. • Docking Duration: About 44 hours. Crews: • Soyuz 19 (USSR): • Alexei Leonov (commander). • Valery Kubasov. • Apollo (USA): • Thomas Stafford (commander). • Vance Brand. • Donald Slayton. Mission objectives: 1. Demonstration of technical compatibility of American and Soviet space systems. 2. Practice docking of spacecraft with different technical standards (the docking port was specially designed for this mission). 3. Symbolic cooperation of two space powers during a period of political détente. Significance of the mission: • The mission was an important step towards strengthening international cooperation in space. • After the flight, the USSR and the USA continued their dialogue in the space sphere, which later resulted in the creation of programs such as Mir-Shuttle and the ISS (International Space Station).
