The year 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of a major event in the history of space exploration:
the first joint experimental crewed flight of astronauts from the United States and cosmonauts from the USSR, carried out under the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP).

On July 17, 1975, the Soviet "Soyuz-19" spacecraft and the American "Apollo" successfully docked in Earth orbit, resulting in the famous "Handshake in Space" between representatives of the two space superpowers. The United States was represented by astronauts Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald Slayton, while the USSR was represented by cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Valery Kubasov. During the docked mission, crew members performed four transfers between the two spacecraft. In addition to the symbolic handshake, the crews carried out several important scientific and technical experiments in orbit. After the successful completion of the mission, both crews returned safely to Earth.

The successful implementation of the Apollo–Soyuz program became a significant achievement in easing international tensions and a symbol of productive cooperation between states in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space.
