U.S. newspapers carried Tass reports that two cosmonauts launched May 27 in Soyuz 36 to join Leonid Popov and Valery Ryumin on Salyut 6 had returned safely to Kazakhstan the night of June 2-3 in the Soyuz 35 that took Popov and Ryumin to Salyut 6 on April 9. Soyuz 36 remained with Salyut 6. Veteran cosmonaut Valery Kubasov and rookie Bertalan Farkas, first Hungarian in space, performed the fifth Soviet-bloc Intercosmos mission, photographing land and ocean surfaces and testing the effects of spaceflight on the human body.
