European-Russian Space Cooperation

Part of the book series: Springer Praxis Books ((SPACEE))

Abstract

The 1966 agreement set in place a range of cooperation programmes which came to fruition long after the visit of President Pompidou. The first was a very concrete outcome: the launch of the French satellites SRET, Signe 3 and Aureole by the Soviet Union. Although France had the capacity to launch its own small satellites, the USSR provided the opportunity to launch heavier satellites into higher orbits and these missions led to extensive cooperation in the Prognoz and Interball programmes. Strains and stresses were most evident during the Venus balloon project. Space science saw the extension of cooperation beyond France and to the European Space Agency (ESA) in the areas of biology (Bion) and materials processing (Foton). Germany emerged as a significant player, concluding with the Spektr RG project.
