 The
Soviet Soyuz spacecraft is contrasted against a black-sky background
in this photograph taken in Earth orbit from the American Apollo spacecraft
during the joint U.S.-USSR Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) docking
in Earth orbit mission. This view is looking toward the aft end of
the Soyuz. Two solar panels protrude out from the spacecraft's Instrument
Assembly Module.

 A
view of the Soviet Soyuz spacecraft in Earth orbit, photographed from
the American Apollo spacecraft during the joint U.S.-USSR Apollo-Soyuz
Test Project (ASTP) docking in Earth orbit mission. The Soyuz is contrasted
against a white cloud background in this overhead view. The three
major components of the Soyuz are the spherical-shaped Orbital Module,
the bell-shaped Descent vehicle, and the cylindrical-shaped Instrument
Assembly Module from which two solar panels protrude.
