Program/Project Management Resource List #49

Revised March 2007

Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library

In 1975, America and the Soviet Union successfully carried out the first joint manned mission in space, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Later, NASA worked with the Soviet space program on Mir. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia was the main beneficiary of over thirty years of Soviet spacefaring, including a great deal of experience in building and inhabiting space stations. America and Russia are in the greatest outer space joint venture, along with other nations, the International Space Station. This pathfinder serves as an introduction to the ways that Americans and Russians can work together on projects and avoid the minefield of cultural misunderstanding. Please see International Cooperation in Space for items that generally apply to all international joint ventures in outer space.

All items are available at the Headquarters Library, except as noted.
