:Project Apollo concluded with the Apollo/ Soyuz mission during July1975, part of a series of cooperative space flights between the United States and the Soviet Union (Russia) that continues today.  The docking in space of the two spacecraft took place at 2:17 p.m. U.S. Central Daylight Time on 17 July. Two days of joint operations followed. After separation, the Soyuz remained in space for almost two days before landing in the USSR on 21 July. The Apollo spacecraft remained in space for another three days before splashing down near Hawaii on 24 July. The mission was a resounding success for both Americans and Soviets. They achieved their goal of obtaining flight experience for rendezvous and docking of human spacecraft. In addition, they also demonstrated in-flight intervehicular crew transfer, as well as accomplished a series of scientific experiments. <ref> http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/index.html </ref>  <ref> http://history.nasa.gov/30thastp/overview.html </ref>
