Title
Astronaut Gibson Shakes Hands with Cosmonaut Dezhurov
Full Description
Astronaut Robert L. Gibson, STS-71 mission commander, shakes the
hand of cosmonaut Vladimir N. Dezhurov, Mir-18 commander. The
historic handshake took place two and a half weeks prior to the 20th
anniversary of a similar in-space greeting between cosmonauts and
astronauts participating in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP).
On July 17, 1975, astronaut Thomas P. Stafford, NASA's ASTP
commander, greeted his counterpart, Aleksey A. Leonov, in a docking
tunnel linking the Soyuz and Apollo spacecraft.
