The space program during the Ford administration that fostered positive relations between the United States and the Soviet Union was the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.
Explanation:
The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in July 1975 was the last of the Apollo Program and, on the other hand, this mission achieved the first coupling between two nations in space. The idea of this spatial "handshake" began three years earlier with the agreement signed by US President Richard Nixon and Soviet premier Aleksei Kosygin.
