Bringing two spacecrafts together in space is called?
When two spacecraft are joined in space it is called docking.
What was the first country to have a space vehicle send back data from another planet?
The first country was the USA with a spacecraft named mariner 2 and launched in 1962 to go to Venus.
How long before docking to the iss does the space shuttle have to start slowing down to make a safe docking?
During launch the space shuttle speeds up to 17500 MPH. In orbit the space station is going about the same speed. So the shuttle does not have to slow down much. At docking the relative speed of the ISS and shuttle is about 1-2 inchs per second.
The first docking in space with another vehicle?
Apollo
When was the first space docking?
The first space docking occurred on March 16, 1966 between Gemini 8 and a rocket named Agena.
When was the first space docking by astronauts?
The first docking in space was performed by Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott aboard Gemini 8 on March 16, 1966. The first docking was to occur during the Gemini 6 flight, but the Gemini 6 Agena docking module failed to reach orbit. Gemini 8 began a slow tumble shortly after docking. Per mission rules, Armstrong undocked from the Agena. When he did, their spacecraft began spinning about 1 revolution every second. The astronauts were on the verge of blacking out when Armstrong finally regained control of the vehicle and stopped the spinning. Had he not been able to gain control, both astronauts would have died in space. It was Armstrong's courage and the calmness with which he handled the situation that caused the NASA planners to choose him to command the first manned landing on the moon.
What was the first cooperative space venture between the US and the Soviet Union?
The docking of the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft.
Where did the Soviet vehicle Soyuz 19 travel to?

What technical events happened in 1997?
A technical event that happened in 1997 includes the failure of the Telstar 401 satellite and the launch of the space shuttle called Atlantis 18. Another event included the shuttle Atlantis docking with the international space station for the first time.
What Russian space vehicle did Apollo 18 spacecraft dock with?
This was the Apollo - Soyuz test docking mission. It was not officially know as Apollo 18 though many refer to it that way
What is spacedocking?
Space-docking is the procedure by which spacecraft connect with other spacecraft in space. This is accomplished by careful manuevering, contact at a slow speed, and the interlocking of latches to secure the craft together. Docking is done with both manned and unmanned spacecraft, the connection allowing transfer of goods or material, or controlled access from one vehicle to the other. (For example, a manned vehicle might dock with a satellite to keep it steady while conducting repairs. Alternately, an astronaut can "spacewalk" away from his vehicle and attach himself to the satellite.)
What is a space word for d?
There is debris such as satellites, gloves, nuts, etc. in outer space. Docking is a space word.
Who is at fault if one vehicle entering a parking lot from traffic hits another vehicle exiting a parking space?
The vehicle exiting the parking space that did not yield to oncoming traffic.
Historical facts from 1995?
Historical facts from 1995 might include the docking of the first US space shuttle at the MIR space station and France exploding a nuclear device in the Pacific ocean. Another fact would include the Tokyo subway attack which killed eight people.
