US-USSR space biology report

The recommendations of the Joint Working Group on Space Biology and Medicine are reported. The exchange of information for the U.S. included the pre- and postflight medical requirements and flight crew health stabilization program for Apollo 16. The U.S.S.R. presentations detailed the medical findings of the Soyuz/Salyut mission, including the postflight autopsy results. The causes of death of the cosmonauts were the occurrence of hypoxia and gaseous embolism. A significant development resulting from the meeting was the agreement that the Joint Working Group strive toward the development of common pre- and postflight medical examination procedures for flight crews for direct comparison of U.S. and U.S.S.R. data.

Apollo Soyuz test project. USA-USSR, fact sheet

The Apollo Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) is discussed. The United States and the Soviet Union have agreed to develop compatible rendezvous and docking systems which will provide a basis for docking and rescue on future spacecraft of both nations. The ASTP mission will include testing the rendezvous system in orbit, verifying techniques for transfer of astronauts and cosmonauts, and conducting experiments while docked and undocked. Diagrams of the spacecraft and systems involved in the tests are presented. The prime contractors for the equipment are identified. Biographical data on the astronauts participating in the program are provided.

Experience in integrated geological and geographical interpretation of space photographs obtained in the USSR

Two examples of regional interpretation of imagery acquired from satellite photographic and television systems are discussed. The imagery was taken aboard the Zond 7 and Kosmos satellites, and depicted; (1) sand and dust storm activity in the eastern Mediterranean Sea area; and (2) landscape and structural properties of territory of southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
