During the work supported by the INTAS-grant 94-1695, the following phases were realized : Final development of space instruments and preparation to launch of the Russian INTER-BALL/Auroral Probe satellite. In-orbit operation of INTERBALL/Auroral Probe, successfully launched on a polar orbit on August 29, 1996. Common data analysis in Russia and Europe, data exchange and organization of various scientific co-ordination meetings. Presentation of the first scientific results in a number of international meetings and symposia: 22nd EGS Annual Assembly (Vienna, April 1997), IAGA Assembly (Uppsala, Sept. 1997). American Geophysical Union (San Francisco, Dec. 1997). Publication of two series of papers presenting the first scientific results in Special issues of Cosmic Research, and Annales Geophysicae. Computation of scientific key parameters and distribution (through a WEB site) to the international community; INTERBALL is now considered as one of the key missions of the International Solar-Terrestrial-Physics Program.
