View of Soyuz 19 as seen from the Apollo spacecraft during the ASTP mission in 1975. Part of the Docking Module can be seen in the foreground.

Interesting shot. As with many of your photos Ed, I haven't seen this one until now. I watched that mission from start to finish on TV. The end of the Apollo era. But it was great wasn't it?

Were they docking or undocking when the photo was taken?

Unknown. They are part of a magazine with several shots of the Soyuz at approximately the same distance.

I think the above image (AST-02-072) might be an undocking photo. Frame 02-093 was taken on REV 60. The two spacecraft docked on REV 29.

I'm guessing this shot was taken by Deke Slayton. I'm going by the angle of the window.

Wish someone would do the full magazines for this mission. You can get the best Skylab, Apollo, Gemini, Mercury in-flight stuff in hi-res, but ASTP has always fallen through the 'not a moon landing' cracks.

The flight plan has Deke Slayton in the left seat for the undocking and separation maneuvers on Day 5.
