The astronauts of the Apollo-Soyuz mission did not land on the moon.
Three Soviet cosmonauts died onboard Soyuz 11 just before re-entry into the earth's atmosphere in 1971. These are the only fatalities that have actually occurred in space.
It is called a "Soyuz Hatch." Soyuz is the name of a series of manned spacecraft that have been in use by the former Soviet Union and Russia since the mid 1960s.
A Soviet carrier rocket used to launch spacecraft.
The first international manned space flight occurred on July 17, 1975, when the United States Apollo spacecraft and Soviet Soyuz spacecraft docked in orbit. The mission was known as the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) and marked the beginning of international cooperation in space exploration.
What makes the space shuttles different than other space craft is that they are reusable. Most spacecraft are used one time, then disposed of. The Russian Soyuz and the American Apollo spacecraft are examples of this. Another difference is the way they return to Earth. After other spacecraft reenter Earth's atmosphere, they deploy parachutes and make water landings (US Apollo), or land in snow (Russian Soyuz). The space shuttle lands like an airplane.
Currently, astronauts and cosmonauts return to Earth in a Soyuz capsule. The Soyuz capsule has a curved ablative heat shield that is used to prevent heat from building up and penetrating the crew cabin. As the capsule plummets through the atmosphere it slams into molecules of air.
Apollo is the name of the American spacecraft and Soyuz is the name of the Russian spacecraft.

It was an aptly named program, as they used both Apollo and Soyuz vehicles. Apollo on the American side, and Soyuz on the Soviet side.
FC SOYUZ-Gazprom Izhevsk was created in 1988.
