Initial plans for international docking system that would eliminate current "key-in-lock" approach of U.S. and Soviet space programs had been presented by NASA representatives at Oct. 26-27 U.S.-U.S.S.R. space cooperation meetings in Moscow, Walter Sullivan said in New York Times. 'U.S.S.R. had reciprocated with detailed plans of docking system similar to Apollo's. "While the proposed American scheme is a long-term project," NASA engineers believed "the Apollo system and the new Soviet one are enough alike to be modified for compatibility." (NYT, 11/21/70)
