Title
Thomas Stafford Trains in Soviet Simulator for ASTP
Full Description
Brig. Gen. Thomas P. Stafford (left), veteran of 3 US space
flights, "flew" the Soviet Soyuz spacecraft simulator with Maj.
Gen. Andriyan G. Nikolayev, veteran of two Soviet Space flights,
during General Stafford's recent visit to Moscow as part of a
U.S. group working on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP), which
launched July 15, 1975. During a visit to Star City, the Soviet
cosmonaut center, General Stafford performed several terminal
phase rendezvous in the Soyuz simulator and docked with the
Salyut space station. General Stafford, Deputy Director of
Flight Crew Operations at the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC),
flew on Gemini 6 and 9 and on Apollo 10 missions. General
Nikolayev, who has visited MSC, flew in Space aboard Vostok 3 and
Soyuz 9. His wife, Valentina Tereshkova, was the first woman to
ever fly in space.
