[edit] Mission highlights
Soyuz 36 was a Hungarian Intercosmos mission. Hungary’s experiments were in the areas of materials processing, Earth observation, and life sciences. The mission was postponed from June 1979 after the Soyuz 33 main engine failure. Kubasov and Farkas landed aboard the Soyuz 35 spacecraft nearly eight days after launching. The Soyuz 36 spacecraft was later used to return the crew of Soyuz 37 to earth.
