Apollo-Soyuz Test Project

In May 1972, President Nixon and Chairman Kosygin signed an agreement which included the approval of the Apollo/Soyuz Test Project. The primary technical objective of the program is to test the requirements and solutions for the compatibility of systems for docking future manned spacecraft of the U.S. and the USSR. The program includes the flight test of a compatible rendezvous system and of a compatible docking system. Details concerning the equipment to be used are discussed along with the operational schedule. Attention is also given to a number of experiments which are to be conducted in space.

Apollo-Soyuz test project docking system

The United States and Soviet Union in July 1975 successfully completed a joint space mission utilizing each country's spacecraft and the compatible docking system designed and fabricated by each country. The compatible docking system is described, along with the extensive research, development, and testing leading up to the successful mission. It also describes the formulation and implementation of methods for breaking the language barrier, bridging the extensive distances for communication and travel, and adjusting to each country's different culture during the three-year development program.

Surface tension induced convection in encapsulated liquid metals in microgravity: Apollo-Soyuz test project experiment no. MA-041

This experiment was designed to determine the extent of surface tension induced convection caused by a steplike compositional variation in a liquid metal. Preliminary results are presented.

The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project: Medical report

The results of the clinical aspects as well as the preflight and postflight research studies that were performed on the astronauts are presented. Because of the compromised postflight crew health status, not all postflight research procedures could be accomplished. This compromise was the result of the anomalous entrance of toxic gas into the spacecraft cabin during the earth landing sequence. Despite the exposure, the medical data collected are of sufficient interest to warrant inclusion in this official ASTP Medical Report.

Inversion of solar extinction data from the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement (ASTP/SAM) experiment

The inversion methods are reported that have been used to determine the vertical profile of the extinction coefficient due to the stratospheric aerosols from data measured during the ASTP/SAM solar occultation experiment. Inversion methods include the onion skin peel technique and methods of solving the Fredholm equation for the problem subject to smoothing constraints. The latter of these approaches involves a double inversion scheme. Comparisons are made between the inverted results from the SAM experiment and near simultaneous measurements made by lidar and balloon born dustsonde. The results are used to demonstrate the assumptions required to perform the inversions for aerosols.

MSFC Skylab ATM calibration rocket project

The Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) Calibration Rocket (CALROC) performances and anomalies encountered are discussed. The performance period included six CALROC flights during the Skylab 2, 3 and 4 missions as well as those rocket flights prior to the Skylab mission which carried CALROC hardware for test purposes. Background material such as project purpose, management, launch facilities, booster and payload configuration is included for better understanding of the CALROC payload and its mission objectives.
