That is correct. The space race during the Cold War saw competition between the United States and the Soviet Union to achieve various milestones in space exploration. However, eventually, the two superpowers were able to work together in space on projects such as the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975, which symbolized a temporary detente in their tensions. The space race indeed ended before the Cold War itself came to a close.
