Description: YOU ARE BIDDING ON NASA Soyuz-Apollo CO 103 Test Project Embroidered Arm Patch Space Mission Featuring: Stafford, Brand, Slayton, Leonov, KubasovThe Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) (Russian: Экспериментальный полёт «Союз» — «Аполлон», Eksperimantalniy polyot Soyuz-Apollon, lit. "Experimental flight Soyuz-Apollo"), conducted in July 1975, was the first joint U.S.–Soviet Space Flight, as a symbol of the policy of detente that the two superpowers were pursuing at the time. It involved the docking of an Apollo Command Service Module with the Soviet Soyuz 19. The unnumbered Apollo vehicle was a surplus from the terminated Apollo Progam and the last one to fly. This mission ceremoniously marked the end of the Space Race that had begun in 1957 with the Sputnik launch.The mission included both joint and separate scientific experiments (including an engineered eclipse of the sun by Apollo to allow Soyuz to take photographs of the solar corona), and provided useful engineering experience for future joint US–Russian space flights, such as the Shuttle-MIR program and the International Space Program.ASTP was the last manned US space mission until the first Space Shuttle flight in April 1981. It was also U.S. astronaut Donald "Deke" Slayton's only space flight. He was chosen as one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts in April 1959, but had been grounded until 1972 for medical reasons.
