Soviets launch new Space Station
Salyut 7 has just been launched, and its systems "are functioning
normally."  It joins Salyut 6, which has been in orbit for 4 1/2
years.  The station is apperently unmanned.

French cosmonaut Patrick Baudry is expected to fly to the station in
late June.  France will be the tenth country to take part in a joint
space mission with the Soviet Union and the first non-communist
country.

Tass said that the station is in an 89.2 minute, 136 by 173 mile
orbit.
