The 15-card "News Flashbacks" subset features the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP). The photograph of the Soyuz 19 spacecraft was taken from the Apollo CSM-111 spacecraft prior to orbital docking on July 17, 1975.
"American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts shook hands 140 miles above the earth on July 17. The meeting occurred hours after Apollo linked with the Russian Soyuz. "We're very happy to see you," U.S. commander Thomas Stafford said in Russian, grasping the hand of Alexei Leonov."
The Viking 1 spacecraft launched aboard a Titan IIIE rocket August 20, 1975. The probe entered Mars orbit on June 19, 1976. The Viking 1 lander touched down at Chryse Planitia on June 20, 1976.
"The Viking spaceship zipped into space at 24,000 mph on August 20 to begin a 303-day, 505-million mile flight to Mars. "I can't believe life was created on just one planet," project manager John Martin said of the $1 billion mission. Viking II was to be launched in September."
The Soviet spacecraft Venera 9 is the first spacecraft to orbit Venus. The
photograph depicts a replica model on display at the Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky
State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics in Kaluga, Russia. On October 22,
1975, the Venera 9 lander transmitted the first images from the surface of
Venus.
"Venera 9 made a soft landing on Venus and transmitted the first photograph taken from the surface of another planet. This followed a 186-million mile, 4.5-month journey. The Soviet landing vehicle functioned for 53 minutes. The temperature on Venus was 905 degrees Fahrenheit."
