The official ASTP patch chosen by NASA and the Soviet Academy of Science. The words "Apollo" in English and "Soyuz" in Russian encircle a center disc, which depicts the two spacecraft docked together in earth orbit. "Soyuz" means "union" in English.

On the American crew patch, the white stars on the blue background represent astronauts Stafford, Brand, and Slayton. The dark gold stars on the red background represent cosmonauts Aleskey Leonov and Valeriy Kubascov.
