Documentary about the Apollo-Soyuz mission, entirely based on historical narration, mission audio and footage. The full mission is covered, showing crew, training, launches, docking, crew transfers and joint operations, science experiments, and landing/splashdown. Apollo–Soyuz was the first crewed international space mission, carried out jointly by the United States and the Soviet Union in July 1975. A United States Apollo spacecraft docked with a Soviet Soyuz capsule. The project, and its handshake in space, was a symbol of détente between the two superpowers during the Cold War. The mission was officially known as the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP; Russian: Экспериментальный полёт «Союз» – «Аполлон» (ЭПАС), and commonly referred to in the Soviet Union as Soyuz–Apollo; the Soviets officially designated the mission as Soyuz 19). The unnumbered American vehicle was left over from the canceled Apollo missions and was the last Apollo module to fly. _______________________________________________________ CHAPTERS 00:00 Apollo-Soyuz Project Development 02:51 Crew 06:01 Mission Objectives 12:07 Training 16:06 Planned Science Experiments 17:11 Soyuz 19 Launch 21:32 Apollo Launch 25:09 Docking Module Extraction 27:06 Station Keeping & Docking 30:11 Hatch opening 33:12 1st Crew Transfer 38:22 Joint Experiments 38:55 2nd Crew Transfer 41:02 3rd Crew Transfer 43:02 4th Crew Transfer 44:16 Undocking 45:50 Artificial Solar Eclipse 46:14 Second Docking & Undocking 47:04 Flyaround and UV experiments 47:47 Separation Burn 48:50 Soyuz 19 Landing 51:36 Apollo Science Experiments 53:50 Apollo Splashdown 56:53 Apollo Crew Final Remarks ______________________________________________________ The footage was AI upscaled (Topaz AI) on some segments, besides the usual color correction. Ambient audio was recreated based on historical elements. Sequences are shown in proper mission context as much as possible. Historical narration (from mission commentary, NASA documentaries and progress reports, and TV and radio broadcasts sourced from LM5 are used in an attempt to capture the feeling of the times. Language and attitudes should be seen in that context.
