Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]NASA sometimes informally refers to the launch of the Apollo command module for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project as Apollo 18. For example, from the agency's Shuttle-Mir history: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]In July 1975, when American Apollo 18 and the Soviet Soyuz 19 docked, the first international spacecraft rendezvous was achieved.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> Or fro the NASA History Office, [i]Monographs in Aerospace History[/i]: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]The Soyuz 19 and Apollo 18 craft launched within seven-and-a-half hours of each other July 15, and docked on July 17.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> NASA SP-4225 spells it out as part of a discussion of Mir Hardware Heritage: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Soyuz 19 was officially referred to as Soyuz, just as the Apollo craft was simply called Apollo (while some sources refer to the craft as Apollo 18, this was not the official designation.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> So, it is not entirely incorrect to refer to it as "Apollo 18" if used in the context of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.[/B][/QUOTE]
