Today on Far Future Horizons we commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the Apollo Soyuz Test Project. Today's video feature is The Mission of Apollo / Soyuz a NASA Spaceflight Educational Documentary released in 1975.
The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) was the last mission in the Apollo program and was the first joint flight of the U.S. and Soviet space programs. The mission took place in July 1975. For the United States of America, it was the last Apollo flight, as well as the last manned space launch until the flight of the first Space Shuttle in April 1981.
Today on Far Future Horizons we present the second episode of “Moon Machines” which concerns the construction of the Apollo Command and Service Modules in the wake of the Apollo 1 fire.
Moon Machines is a Science Channel documentary miniseries of six episodes documenting the engineering challenges of the Apollo Program to land a man on the Moon. It covers everything from the iconic Saturn V to the Command Module, the Lunar Module, the Space Suits, the Guidance and Control Computer, and the Lunar Rover. It was created by the team who made In the “Shadow of the Moon” in association with NASA to commemorate the agency’s fiftieth anniversary in 2008.
