Air to Ground Transcripts

1975

Transcribe this series containing the master technical air-to-ground (TAG) voice transcription, the Mission Soviet release, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics mission commentary. The transcripts provide the time, speaker, and text. The records in this series relate to the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project on July 15, 1975. This project’s goal was to demonstrate space partnership by docking two spacecraft dock together and having the American crew of three (Apollo) work collaboratively with the Soviet Union crew of two (Soyuz). The project tested docking and rendezvous capabilities, which can be applied to international space rescue situations.

Please note: Included are images related to the Apollo-Soyuz program, which may be tagged for subject matter. Additionally, please do not try to recreate the layout of forms, but instead transcribe them in a way that makes sense to a reader. See our FAQs for advice on tagging and transcribing tables.
