An artist's concept illustrating the sequence of events which will occur during the joint United States—Soviet Union Apollo-Soyuz Test Project mission. The flight, scheduled for mid-1975, is designed to test equipment and techniques that will establish international crew rescue capability in space, as well as permit future cooperative scientific missions. The American and Soviet crews will visit each other's spacecraft while the Apollo and Soyuz are docked in Earth orbit for a maximum period of two days.
