A Soviet-led international spaceflight program established in April 1967 to promote cooperation among socialist and aligned nations in space exploration and research, running until March 1994. It flew a long series of satellites carrying scientific payloads from partner nations, and later sent the first non-Soviet, non-American citizens to space aboard Soyuz flights to Soviet orbital stations, achieving numerous international firsts before the program ended with the Soviet Union's dissolution.
