   The Soyuz was the primary Soviet spacecraft used for manned flight since   
   its introduction in 1967. The docking module was designed and   
   constructed by NASA to serve as an airlock and transfer corridor between   
   the two craft.   
      
   During nearly two days of joint activities, the mission’s two Soviet   
   cosmonauts and three U.S. astronauts carried out five joint experiments   
   and exchanged commemorative items.   
      
   The successful Apollo-Soyuz Test Project paved the way for future   
   international partnerships.

   Two days after a rare last-second launch abort, a Russian Soyuz   
   spacecraft blasted off Saturday on a flight to the International Space   
   Station, carrying two short-duration crew members and a NASA astronaut   
   bound for a six-month tour of duty.   
      
   Soyuz MS-25/71S commander Oleg Novitskiy, Belarus guest cosmonaut Marina   
   Vasilevskaya and NASA veteran Tracy Dyson thundered away from the   
   Baikonur Cosmodrome at 8:36 a.m. EDT (5:36 p.m. local time) and slipped   
   into orbit eight minutes and 45 seconds later.
