Soviet space agency
The Soviet Union, which has kept its space proSamme under tight miliry controls since it launched the first satellite in 1957, has announced the creation of its first civilian space agency. The Government newspaper, “Izvestia," said it would be responsible for the design, construction and use of spacecraft for scientific research, remote-sensing applications, such as surveys of resources and crops, and joint space programmes with other countries. “Izvestia” identified the new agency as the Main Administration for the Creation and Use of Space Technlogy for the Economy and for Scientific Research. It is to be known by the acronym Glavkosmos, composed of the Russian terms for “main” and “space.” — Moscow.
