This was the Apollo - Soyuz test docking mission. It was not officially know as Apollo 18 though many refer to it that way
Soyuz 19 was a Soviet spacecraft that was part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, a joint space mission between the United States and the Soviet Union. It launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and then docked with the American Apollo spacecraft in Earth orbit as part of the mission in July 1975.
The Russian space program that linked with the American Apollo spacecraft in space in 1975 was the Soviet Soyuz program. This joint mission was known as the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) and symbolized the end of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The name of the man-made vehicle designed to travel through space is a spacecraft. Examples include the Apollo spacecraft, which carried astronauts to the Moon, and the Space Shuttle, which was used for missions to low Earth orbit. Other notable spacecraft include the International Space Station and various robotic probes like Voyager.
Yuri Gagarin went to space in the Russian spacecraft Vostok 1. in 1961.
Some of the Russian space crafts are Soyuz, Progress, and Vostok. Soyuz is used for crewed missions to the International Space Station, Progress is an unmanned cargo spacecraft, and Vostok was the spacecraft that carried the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space.

Soyuz 19 was a Soviet spacecraft that was part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, a joint space mission between the United States and the Soviet Union. It launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and then docked with the American Apollo spacecraft in Earth orbit as part of the mission in July 1975.
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.
