ASTP Docking
S74-24913 (August 1973) — An artist’s concept illustrating an Apollo-type spacecraft (left) about to dock with a Soviet Soyuz-type spacecraft. A recent agreement between the United States (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) provides for the docking in space of the Soyuz and Apollo-type spacecraft in Earth orbit in 1975. The joint space venture is called the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP).

Mars Operational Phase
It’s January 1972.
Having safely glided to a stop on a Martian plateau, this illustration depicts the Operational Phase of the mission. The crew have already inflated their six meter habitat (it’s a tent), assembled the flat-pack steamroller and are shown removing the nuclear reactor so it can be dragged at least a kilometer from base camp so it won’t kill them.
With the reactor at a safe distance, the crew of eight have 479 days to explore the surface of Mars and maybe do a spot of gardening.
