The mission following the end of the Apollo program was the Apollo Soyuz Test Project, or ASTP. This program was the first joint US / Russia space mission. It entailed Apollo hardware rendezvousing and docking with Soyuz hardware while in orbit. This mission, however, also used most of the same hardware designed for the moon landings.

The next new-hardware mission post Apollo was the Space Transport System or STS, better known as the Space Shuttle.
