Apollo-Soyuz Test Project 35th Anniversary Lunch
Product Description
Join Astronaut Scholarship Foundation on Friday, November 5,
2010 for an incredible afternoon of tribute and excitement as we
celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project
(ASTP) with a special luncheon! On July 17, 1975, history was made as
the American Apollo and Soviet Soyuz spacecrafts united in space. The
ASTP mission united three astronauts — Tom Stafford, Vance
Brand and Deke Slayton — and two cosmonauts —
Alexei Leonov and Valery Kubasov — in the first
human space flight mission to be jointly managed by two nations.
Thirty-five years later, American astronauts Stafford and Brand
will come together at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to
commemorate three-and-a-half decades of international cooperation
in space at this special event. Take part in an unforgettable lunch
as these legendary astronauts share their heroic experiences.
