Intercosmos

Intercosmos

The Intercosmos ("ИнтерКосмос" "Interkosmos") was a space exploration program run by the Soviet Union to allow members from military forces of allied Warsaw Pact countries to participate in manned and unmanned space exploration missions. Participation was also made available to governments of sympathetic countries, such as France, with Jean-Loup Chrétien's mission to the Mir spacestation, India, etc. The most notable Intercosmos missions were the manned space flight missions that enabled 14 non-Soviets to participate in Soyuz space flights between 1978 and 1988. Unmanned satellite launches were also part of the program.
