This afternoon the Russian and American spacecraft undock after their historic meeting. Live television cameras cover a space ballet, as Apollo and Soyuz perform complicated exercises and test their ability to dock and undock, and carry out experiments, including creating their own artificial eclipse of the sun for photographic research. And later comes the farewell at the end of this first joint space mission.
