The use of sputniks and manned ( ) space ships for observations and photography makes it possible to organize control over the state of the environment ( ). It is possible to trace dust storms covering hundreds of thousands of square miles, to find their points of origin () and the movement of these giant "dry clouds" and other atmospheric pollutants ().
At present a new science - cosmic ecology - has come into being and is making great progress.
The Department of the Physics of the Atmosphere at St Petersburg University has found original methods and made instruments for the detection () of air pollution ().
One such instrument is a spectrograph with which Soviet cosmonauts to Soyuz spaceships have obtained ecologically important information.
It is possible to study from outer space not only dry land and air, but also oceans and rivers and the degree to which they are polluted by oil and other waste (). Such studies of the world ocean were started from the Russian manned spaceships.
FINAL PART OF MOON MAP PUBLISHED
The Stenberg Institute in Moscow has published the third and last part of its atlas of the Moon.
The first appeared in 1960 and included data from the photographs sent back to Earth by the Luna-3 moon probe () which made it possible to see for the fust time the hidden side of the moon.
The second part, in 1967, contained pictures transmitted by Zond-3, and the new one has photographs made by Zonds 6, 7 and 8.
The pictures are remarkably clear, showing much detail of the Monn's surface.
It is now clear that the mountains near the south lunar pole are over six miles high.
The volume also contains much explanatory matter () - tables, diagrams and figures - and a list of over 100 famous people after whom places have been named ( ) on the hidden side of the moon.
SOYUZ APPOLLO "SPACE SEEDS" ARE PLANTED
Seeds of Canadian spruce ( ) from the USA which have been in outer space have been planted in the main botanical garden of the Academy of Sciences.
They are part of the seed exchanged () during the Soyuz-Appollo space link-up ().
Alexei Leonov and Valery Kubasov handed () their American colleagues () seeds of pines () from the Volga region, larches () from Tuva, firs () from Northern Caucasus and cedars (-) from Siberia. Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald Slayton gave the Russian cosmonauts seeds of Wisconsin spruce.
Each country is planting the other county's seeds in the hope that they will grow into string trees, a living reminder ( ) of peaceful cooperation between two great nations.
