Scientific paper

The equipment and astronomical observations on the Salyuts 6 and 7 space stations are described. Noting that only one and a half hours of night sky viewing are available during each orbit, observations become either well-planned or innovative, with the presence of a crew in space an asset to taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. Human movement on board the stations is restricted while viewing is being performed. The station can be inertially stabilized for up to 40 sec. The results of photography of the F layer are presented, together with twilight photography and a reproduction of the inner zodiacal cloud. Other sessions have recorded the internal structure of noctiluminescent clouds, the 6300 A emissions of the F layer, and auroral structures.
