Description: Very nice rare sheet. The Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) flew in July 1975. It was the last Apollo mission, the first joint U.S./Soviet space flight, and the last manned US space mission until the first Space Shuttle flight in April 1981. The mission included both joint and separate scientific experiments (including an engineered eclipse of the Sun by Apollo to allow Soyuz to take photographs of the solar corona) and provided useful engineering experience for future joint US/Russian space flights, such as the Shuttle–Mir Program and the International Space Station. Its primary purpose was symbolic; the ASTP was a symbol of the policy of détente that the two superpowers were pursuing at the time. The ASTP was US astronaut Donald "Deke" Slayton's only flight. He was chosen as one of the original Mercury Seven in April 1959, but had been grounded until 1972 for medical reasons.
