Bobko-took part in training in Star City, near Moscow, for the Apollo Soyuz Test Project. A ninth, Eugene A. Cernan, took part in the first two weeks of training, representing the Johnson Space Center Apollo Spacecraft Program Office. In addition to studying Soyuz spacecraft systems, the astronauts trained with the Soviet flight crews in simulators and mockups. They also continued planning procedures and checklists for the joint mission. (JSC Release 74-121; JSC Roundup, 30 Aug 74)
