US-Soviet Space Bridge were a series of experimental, international telecasts between Soviet and American viewers, performed by group of communication enthusiasts during Cold War times. Translated from the Russian word telemost (literally, "TV bridge"), a space bridge is a public interactive television link between at least two geographically separate and culturally distinct locations, a form of public video conference.
The first Space-Bridge was an arrangement between the Unison Corporation and Gosteleradio of the USSR for the US Festival sponsored by Steve Wozniak. On September 5th, 1982, a TV-link was established for the first time between the Soviet Union and the United States.
The participants in that space bridge could see each other, ask questions and receive answers and could also hold a musical dialogue. The programmes of the subsequent space bridges consisted not only of music-hall turns and greetings but also discussions on different subjects, and prominent scientists, public figures, cosmonauts and journalists took part in them.
