Abstract
Although this unique mission utilized the three-man Apollo spacecraft, it was not a part of the Apollo program, but a cooperative docking test project between the US and the Soviet Union. The three American astronauts were Thomas Stafford, Donald Slayton, and Vance Brand. They were joined in space by two Russian cosmonauts, Aleksey A. Leonov and Valeriy N. Kubasov. The successful docking of the two craft was the climax to several years of planning.
