The CYTOS biological experiments carried out on the Soviet orbital station Salyut 6.
Two biological experiments (CYTOS programme) were performed aboard the Soviet orbital Station Salyut 6. For these experiments we have developed several original devices. In this paper we give the technical characteristics of this specialized hardware and the experimental methods used to carry out these experiments.
