TODAY ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST JOINT FLIGHT OF SPACE SOLUTIONS "SOYUZ-19" AND "APOLLON"
June 15, 1975 from the Baikonur cosmodrome in the Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan launched the Soyuz-19 spacecraft with cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Valery Kubasov on board. In 8 hours from Cape Canaveral in Florida (USA) rocket "Saturn 1-B" with the ship "Apollo" and American astronauts Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald Slayton rose.
Contact took place on July 17 at an altitude of 140 miles above the Atlantic. Three hours after docking, Leonov greeted Stafford with a handshake and the phrase "Glad to see you" at the lock. "Hello, it's good to see you," Stafford replied in Russian. Then the men embraced.
A significant part of the mission was devoted to symbolic actions. Astronauts and astronauts exchanged flags, souvenirs, tablets. For TV viewers of the world, they conducted television excursions around their ships and treated each other - the Russians prepared a dinner consisting of gingerbread, Russian black bread, nuts, plums, meat pate and cottage cheese. The Americans answered this with a turkey, meat balls, seafood soup with mushrooms. There were toasts for friendship, instead of vodka borsch was used.
At the same time, the cosmonauts improved the docking procedure and conducted scientific experiments. Both crews returned safely to Earth. "Union" descended on a parachute on hard land in the USSR on July 21, "Apollo" was wrecked near Hawaii on July 25,
