On July 17, 1975, an American Apollo spacecraft and a Soviet Soyuz met and docked 140 miles above the Earth, and two crews who had been trained to see one another as adversaries shook hands in orbit. The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was the first international crewed spaceflight, the last flight of an Apollo spacecraft, and a landmark of Cold War détente — the symbolic end of the Space Race.

This is the official NASA science report on everything that mission accomplished beyond the handshake. Across some thirty experiments, it documents the astronomy, Earth science, life science, and materials-processing research the crews carried out — soft X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet surveys, an artificial solar eclipse, biological and materials experiments in microgravity, and much more. A substantial primary-source record of a historic flight.

Worth Knowing Published as NASA SP-412 in the agency\'s Special Publication series, this Volume I gathers the full scientific results of the mission across all disciplines. It\'s the kind of primary NASA document collected by space-history enthusiasts, Apollo and Soyuz collectors, and anyone drawn to the moment the two superpowers met in orbit. A genuine piece of the space program\'s paper record — equal parts science report and Cold War history, from one of the most symbolically important missions ever flown.
