FBIS reported from Tass that Soviet scientists had found no pathological changes in animals that underwent weightlessness on biosat Cosmos 1129 September 25-October 14. The animals in orbit gained as much weight as others of their species in the control group on the ground. Lack of gravity was also no obstacle to the development of embryos. The tests established that weightlessness had no effect on formation of seeds and flowers; plants bloomed in space, and their seeds were obtained later on the ground. Observation of biological material flown on Cosmos 1129 was continuing at the Moscow Institute of Medico-Biological Problems, with scientists of France and the United States participating.
