Early Soviet developments in spaceborne astronomy broadly mirrored avenues pursued in the better-known US program, with differences of internal logic fitting the engineering and programmatic choices of the overall program in the USSR. I briefly review orbital missions and results, from Kosmos 51 in 1964 to Mir starting in 1987. Trials of instruments from radio to X-ray energies were long built around the ongoing program of "civilian" Salyut stations. A retrospective examination of the scientific impact of these instruments points up the importance of such apparently secondary factors as the time needed to process some kinds of data (for example, slitless photographic spectra), the sporadic film return from long-duration crew occupation, and the accompanying opportunity to replace equipment with improved versions. As time went on, deeper levels of international cooperation involved Soviet missions, perhaps most clearly in GRB studies, but also in NASA-provided emulsions, the integral role of French investigators in the dedicated Astron and Granat robotic missions, and the involvement of multiple European institutions with the X-ray instruments on Mir.
