Flag of Interkosmos space program (USSR and
socialist countries, 1970ths-1980ths): white field with logo.
Andreas Herzfeld told me he saw these flags in German Democratic Republic
(DDR) in 1970ths.

The official logo had a cyrillic inscription of
"INTERKOSMOS".

Considering all missions and the main/official languages of the participant
countries there were six possible designs. I wonder which more of these
were actually created and used on flags.

In East Germany was practice, that foreign inscription were translated. The
German version of the INTERKOSMOS-flag was hoisted at the return
parade of the first German kosmonaut (astronaut) Siegmund Jähn on October, 4
1978. (The flag of the mutual german and soviet space mission
Sojus 31 / Союз
31 was also hoisted next to the INTERKOSMOS-flag during
the return parade in East Berlin.)

The INTERKOSMOS flags in the German Democratic Republic
were only political promotion material. The cloths know Andreas Herzfeld
from Leipzig and I from Berlin. However, the flags were never official.

The logo existed in german, russian and hungarian variants. But I’m
not sure about flags.
