Data gathered by the three telescopes on board the Salyut 6 orbital station are described. The liquid He cooled BST-1M telescope has a 1.5 m primary mirror to collect and focus radiation emissions of cold sources onto a small secondary mirror and then onto semiconductor crystals. Its use has revealed small scale emission fluctuations in the earth tropics in regions where cyclones begin. An additional channel has recorded the UV signatures of 28 celestial objects. The Yelena-F gamma-ray telescope yielded data which indicates that derived gamma quanta and electrons inside the orbital complex are 100-1000 times the gamma ray flux outside the station. The KRT-10 antenna receives radio emissions at 12-72 cm wavelengths, and has been used to map the Milky Way, the pulsar PSR 0329 + 24, and the earth.
