FBIS reported a Tass announcement that the USSR had installed its first cameras designed to photograph bolides (celestial bodies invading the earth's atmosphere) in a 30-unit network in the Ukraine. The cameras would permit astronomers to calculate the trajectory and place of fall of the bolides, the release said. (FBIS, Tass in English, Sept 2/77)

FBIS carried the official report by L.A. Aleksandrov, chairman of the USSR-U.S. group on space meteorology, that the joint rocket launches over the Atlantic to compare instrument results [see July 1] had been a success. (FBIS, Krasnaya Zvezda in Russian, Sept 4/77)
