The joint space mission carried out 36 medical, biological, physical technological and remote sensing experiments, falling under 25 categories of 3 fields, which ultimately became the foundation of Mongolian space research.

Hero of the People’s Republic of Mongolia and the Soviet Union, cosmonaut, Major-General J.Gurragchaa is a luminary, not only for Mongolians, but for the whole human race.
