Description
Vintage Postage StampsCirca 1975
Artwork by Robert T. McCall ('after link-up' lower image)
and Anatoly Aksamit ('before link-up' upper image)
The US Postal Service issued this pair of two 10-cent multicolored stamps on July 15, 1975, at Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
The Soviet Union released postage stamps of similar design at the same time.
With the Apollo-Soyuz mission, two nations collaborated on a space project for the first time. In July 1975, the United States launched the manned Apollo Command, destined to rendezvous with Russia's manned Soyuz module. A special docking station facilitated interaction among the astronauts.
Television stations worldwide broadcast the historic docking and bi-national greeting. The modules remained docked for two days, during which the teams performed numerous experiments.
Here's a NASA video about the project: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2G1Bb…

Glad you like it! I always liked how they made two, one before and one after the two crafts linked up.
