The joint Soviet-American space flight operation in July 1975, in which the Soviet Spacecraft Soyuz-19 and the American Apollo rendezvoused in orbit, docked, and carried out various experiments and observations, was three years in preparation, requiring extensive and close interaction by both sides.
