In 1988 cooperation was successfully pursued in the framework of the multilateral program Intercosmos with nine socialist countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Vietnam, East Germany, the Republic of Cuba, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia) and on a bilateral basis with Austria, Great Britain, India, the United States, Finland, France, West Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and other nations, as well as the European Space Agency. Joint projects in the Intercosmos program are being carried out in the area of space physics (including space materials science), space meteorology, communications, space biology and medicine, as well as remote sensing of the Earth for purposes of studying its natural resources. Joint projects in space on a bilaterial basis with the aforementioned countries have covered practically all main areas of cosmonautics. In 1988 the main events in the international cooperation of the USSR in space were: international experiments aboard the Mir orbital scientific research complex, flights of Soviet-Bulgarian and Soviet-Afghan international crews, the launching of two unmanned interplanetary Phobos vehicles, and the launching of the Indian satellite IRS-1A on a commericial basis.
