FBIS reported completion of the 19-day flight of Cosmos 1129 and recovery of rats, insects, plants, and other items flown on it [see September 61. Tass said a field laboratory-a huge inflated shed made of several hermetically connected tents-was set up at the landing site so that "morphologists, biochemists, and physiologists" could inspect the samples and do the first research.
Samples then went to the Moscow Institute of Medico-Biological Problems where scientists from the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, France, Hungary, German Democratic Republic, Poland, Romania, and the United States would make early estimates of the results obtained. Some of the materials would be sent to laboratories in participating nations. (FBIS, Tass in English, Oct 14/79)
