Ivanchenkov Chronology 27 March 1973 - Energia Engineer Cosmonaut Training Group 4 selected.. 2 December 1974 - Soyuz 16. Assignment: Support Crew. Flight: Soyuz 16. ASTP Manned Test Flight. Check-out of the Soyuz space craft's on-board systems which had been modernized to meet the requirements of the 1975 joint flight in accordance with the programme of the Soviet-United States experiment; conduct of scientific and technical investigations. 15 July 1975 - Soyuz 19 (ASTP). Assignment: Support Crew. Flight: Soyuz 19 (ASTP), Apollo (ASTP). Soyuz 19 initial orbital parameters were 220.8 by 185.07 kilometres, at the desired inclination of 51.80°, while the period of the first orbit was 88.6 minutes. On 17 July the two spacecraft docked. The crew members rotated between the two spacecraft and conducted various mainly ceremonial activities. Leonov was on the American side for 5 hours, 43 minutes, while Kubasov spent 4:57 in the command and docking modules.
After being docked for nearly 44 hours, Apollo and Soyuz parted for the first time and were station-keeping at a range of 50 meters. The Apollo crew placed its craft between Soyuz and the sun so that the diameter of the service module formed a disk which blocked out the sun. After this experiment Apollo moved towards Soyuz for the second docking.
Three hours later Apollo and Soyuz undocked for the second and final time. The spacecraft moved to a 40 m station-keeping distance so that an ultraviolet absorption experiment could be performed.
With all the joint flight activities completed, the ships went on their separate ways. 9 October 1977 - Soyuz 25. Assignment: Backup Crew. Flight: Soyuz 25. Manned two crew. Unsuccessful mission.
