Day-by-Day Technical Summary Guide made for and used by Founder and Architect of the Soviet Space Program Kerim Kerimov for the Apollo-Soyuz Mission. Kerim Kerimov was a Soviet engineer considered to be one of the key scientists and founders of the Soviet Union's space program. Despite his prominent role, his identity was kept secret from the public for most of his career. He was one of the lead architects behind the string of Soviet successes that stunned the world from the late 50s (Sputnik 1) and the first human spaceflight, Gagarin's 108-minute trip around the globe aboard Vostok 1 in 1961, the first fully-automated space docking, and the first space stations (Salyut and Mir). The joint American-Russian, Apollo-Soyuz space mission began with the launch of the Soyuz spacecraft from Baykonur Cosmodrome, USSR, at 12:20:00 GMT on 15 July 1975. On the same day at 19:50:01 GMT, the Apollo spacecraft was launched from Kennedy Space Center, USA, to begin the rendezvous with the Soyuz. During the mission, the first international rendezvous and docking occurred when the Apollo spacecraft, with the docking module it carried to orbit, rendezvoused and docked with the Soyuz spacecraft. The classic rendezvous technique, similar to the sequence followed by the command-service module in reaching the Skylab space station, was carried out by the Apollo spacecraft. In addition to the testing of compatible docking systems in orbit, four crew transfers were accomplished as were joint and unilateral experiments. The Apollo remained docked with the Soyuz for approximately two days at which time the first undocking occurred and the joint solar eclipse experiment was performed. Following the experiment, the second docking was performed, this time with the Soyuz docking system as the active system. The final undocking occurred on19 July at 15:26:12 GMT, the Soyuz deorbited on 21 July at 10:10:30 GMT andlanded in Kazakhstan. After final separation from Soyuz, the Apollo continued in orbit for fivedays to perform unilateral experiments.Apollo separation from theservicemodule, deorbit and entry was performedon 2440161975withthe landingin thePacific Ocean west of Hawaii at 21:10.3347222222222224 GMT. $25,000-35000
