The magazine quoted Mstislav V. Keldysh, president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, as saying the Soviet Union would concentrate its 1970 space efforts on scientific satellites orbiting the earth and unmanned planetary spacecraft launch by the Soviets It described the three-vesslast month as relatively unproductive, serving primarily to keep the Soviet technical team in pi acute.
