20-28 March: U.S. and U.S.S.R. flight controllers and crews for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project participated in simulations of phases of the joint mission to check out the interaction of control-center personnel under actual flight conditions, using voice, teletype, datafax, and TV communications. Beginning with rendezvous of Apollo and Soyuz, the simulations were conducted with Houston and Moscow control centers fully manned-including some specialists from the other nation-and U.S. and Soviet crew members were in simulators in their respective countries; events simulated were the launches, undocking, Apollo separation, 2nd and 3rd crew transfers, and joint activities. Further simulations were scheduled for May, June, and early July. (NASA Release 75-77; Tass, FBIS-Sov, 19 March 75, U1)
