The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was a joint mission between the United States and the Soviet Union in July 1975, where an American Apollo spacecraft and a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft docked in Earth orbit. This historic mission allowed astronauts and cosmonauts to transfer between vehicles, conduct joint scientific experiments, and test a compatible rendezvous and docking system designed to be a universal standard for future spacecraft. It symbolized a period of détente, setting aside political differences for the common goal of space exploration and paving the way for future international human spaceflight. The mission also marked the final flight of the Apollo program, transitioning to the development of the Space Shuttle.
