Cosmonautics. Soyuz - Apollo: the icebreaker of the Cold War (2015)

Special report on the 40th anniversary of the docking of the Soyuz and Apollo spacecraft.

With the light hand of journalists, this historic event and the space program itself were called the "Icebreaker of the Cold War".

The participants of the flight and the specialists who took part in its preparation believe that without the Soyuz-Apollo docking, there would have been neither the Mir-Shuttle program, nor the ISS, nor particularly trusting relations between Russian and American cosmonauts.
