"American and Soviet crewmen for the Apollo Soyuz Test Project visited KSC today as part of a familiarization tour for the Soviet cosmonauts. During their tour, they inspected a full-scale mockup of the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft in a docked configuration in the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building. From left are Astronauts Vance Brand and Thomas P. Stafford, Cosmonauts Aleksey Leonov and Valeriy Kubesov, and Astronaut Donald K. Slayton. Launch of history's first international manned space station is scheduled for July 15, 1975."
