The experimental Apollo/Soyuz mission (ASTP) has become historical long ago. I believe, this glorious epic left good memories and satisfaction for participants. Nowadays many nations took the road of space exploration and developed their own space technologies. Co-operative realization of large space programs became possible with combined efforts, resources and scientific-technological potential of participating countries. Therefore it is worthwhile to look back upon the Apollo/Soyuz project experience being a good example of international cooperation in space exploration.
