GIL-21

Apollo CSM, docking module, Soyuz

Gray and brown plastic model spacecraft. Part of Apollo connected to gray conical docking modular model, which is connected to black model of Soyuz craft. Mounted to on a brown triangular wooden base. Detaches into four pieces. The mount and pieces are stored in separate boxes, both on shelf 33/3.

This is an early design of the craft of the Apollo-Soyuz mission. Flown during July 1975, this mission demonstrated the ability of the U.S. and Soviet Union to work together peacefully on space projects. It was the only joint manned U.S. - U.S.S.R. mission ever attempted, but was highly successful. In addition to substantial exchange of scientific data, much engineering work on spacecraft compatibility was realized, from which the ASTP docking module, developed by the U.S., emerged.
