What is happening in space on 17 July 1975 is unprecedented. An Apollo spacecraft, the flagship of American technology, and the Soyuz spacecraft, the pride of Soviet collectivism, were about to dock for a few hours…
These two spaceships of very different designs symbolise the power of two worlds that have been at odds since the end of the Second World War. To consummate this unholy marriage, Soviet and American engineers had to cooperate and deploy a wealth of ingenuity to make their technologies compatible.
It took 5 years for this scientific and human adventure to come to fruition. This episode in the conquest of space is anything but anecdotal, as it took place in a geopolitical context dominated by the Cold War.
