7. Jan 1935: Waleri Nikolajewitsch Kubassow wird in Wjasniki geboren. Nachdem der Maschinenbau-Ingenieur unter Sergei Koroljow gearbeitet hatte, flog er dreimal ins All, mit Sojus 6, mit Sojus 19 im Rahmen des Apollo-Sojus-Test-Projektes #ASTP und mit Sojus 36 zur #Saljut6.
With #ASTP providing clarity on post-shutdown enforcement discretion, #HIT vendors now hope for the same from #CMS regarding impacted software certification requirements such as #MIPS and #AAPM. Our vice chair shared those insights and more with #HealthcareITNews. https://ow.ly/wtA550XAozY
We're glad for clarity from #ASTP on #HTI-1 & Attestations Condition and Maintenance of Certification deadlines and appreciate the acknowledgment of the compounding effects of the shutdown-induced disruptions on developers' compliance efforts. https://ow.ly/Gcsc50Xxce5
We’re grateful #ASTP recognizes the disruption the shutdown caused for developers working on #HTI-1 compliance & is considering relief. We recommend enforcement discretion or extension of up to 90 days to account for tool unavailability & unresolved validation issues.
The return of the American #ASTP crew after their hospital stay in Hawaii. We think the photo has to be shared for how cool Christopher Kraft and John Young look there on the tarmac! #Skylab

#ASTP crew recovering at a military hospital in Hawaii. They were monitored as a precaution due to the toxic gas exposure during landing. No major ill effects or permanent injury were caused by the incident.
#ASTP crew speaks to the President on the deck of the carrier. Although in good spirits, the trio soon developed breathing difficulties and had to be taken to the infirmary for medical treatments, besides the battery of tests waiting for them as per normal procedure.
Near-disaster at the final moment - toxic vapours from the thrusters accidentally entered the cabin during reentry and rendered the crew near-unconscious just before the parachutes opened. #ASTP
Splashdown! The #ASTP crew returned #OTD in 1975 after 9 days in space, the final crewed spaceflight by the US until 1981 and the first launch off the space shuttle.
An "Extreme Ultraviolet" detector in the Service Module operating during #ASTP. It discovered the first sources of EUV radiation in space, coming from distant stars. Ths further supported the possibility of detecting unusual cosmic phenomena in space, prompting work in larger space telescopes.
Plastic tubes - dubbed 'reactors' - for growing crystals in space were also carried on #ASTP to see how they formed in zero gravity.
Plastic bags containing baby killifish and their eggs were carried on Apollo for #ASTP to study how they developed in microgravity, and how the fish might adapt back to life on Earth.
One of the experiments in the #ASTP Docking Module was the Multipurpose Furnace, used for material experiments by melting metals in space. This was hoped to be a first step towards manufacturing exotic materials in orbit for high tech applications. We haven't gotten there yet, 50 years later!
Deke in the Docking Module. It remained connected to the Apollo after Souyz departed and served as a workspace for further experiments. #ASTP
The Soviet portion of #ASTP ended 50 years ago with the safe landing of Soyuz 19 and the recovery of Leonov and Kubasov.
Hace 50 años tuvo lugar la misión espacial con la que concluyó la Guerra Fría.
Hace 5 años preparé esta entrada de mi blog que he tenido que reparar (algunos enlaces habían muerto).

The electrophoresis experiment on #ASTP was used in an attempt to separate urokinase from kidney cells. Urokinase was an early anti-clotting agent used to treat blockages of the blood vessels in the brain and the heart. In the hopeful 70's, scientists dreamed of manufacturing it in space.
Precision flight maneuvers were performed after undocking for the purpose some UV light experiments, before the two spacecraft from two national took their final leave, pursuing independent scientific missions for the remaining days of their mission. #ASTP
Once more for good luck! After separation, Leonov and Kubasov took their turn at docking to prove that the Soyuz too could accomplish the procedure. This was another succesful maneuver for the mission. Final separation followed soonafter with no visits this time around. #ASTP
Right after undocking, a rather unusual experiment was performed where the Apollo was maneuvered between the Sun and the Soyuz to create an artificial solar eclipse! This was then photographed from Soyuz. #ASTP
