Summary

"Displayed here are full-scale units of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, the joint U.S.-U.S.S.R program to develop and test a common spacecraft docking system. The 1975 mission marked the first time manned spacecraft of two nations met in space.

On the left is the Apollo command and service module. This spacecraft was used as a test vehicle during the Apollo program and was restored for display here.

In the center is a docking module that served as a backup for the docking module used during the mission.

One the right is the green Soyuz spacecraft, which includes a spherical orbital module, a bell-shaped landing module, and a cylindrical service module. The Soyuz displayed here is a model built by the Energia Scientific Production Assocaition, the company still manufactures Soyuz flight vehicles." - Quote from Plaque located at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Air_and_Space_Museum" class="extiw" title="en:National Air and Space Museum">National Air and Space Museum</a>.
