Jobs Distinguish Apollo and Soyuz
CAPE CANAVERAL Fla UPI compares Russia’s Soyuz to America’s Apollo noting the Soyuz is built for ferrying astronauts to orbit while the Apollo targets distant lunar travel. Apollo is larger more capable and pilots must fly it. Soyuz relies on ground control with limited on board pilot input. The joint flight aims for 136 miles up on July 17 with the Soyuz staying in orbit up to six days and the Apollo up to nine.
