Soviet Space exploration has come a long way in the quarter century that has elapsed after the historical day of the flight of Yu. A. Gagarin on 12 April 1961. The first flight, which lasted only 108 min, was to determine human capacities under conditions prevailing in space. As of 1 January 1986, Soviet cosmonauts had made 109 manned flights involving 60 people. Some of the participants had been in space 2 to 3 and even 5 times (V. A. Dzhanibekov). The Salyut orbital stations became a permanent space research laboratory. The crew consisting of L. D. Kizim, V. A. Solovyev and O. Yu. Atkov worked in space for 237 days. V. A. Dzhanibekov and V. P. Savinykh were able to find and dock with the inactive Salyut-7 station in space, repair it and completely restore its work capacity. In the 25 years that have passed since the first flight, space science has become a solid part of life, an inseparable element of the scientific, economic and sociocultural life of mankind. The file of organizations that are planning spaceflights is full of applications for investigations in the interests of the most diverse scientific disciplines and the national economy.
