Hello, it's me again.  :-)
I quoted from the NASDA website a statement that ETS-VII (or ETS-7)
"will be the world's first attempt at such an experiment."

Not knowing the details of Kosmos 186/188, I can't comment one way or
the other, but if you think NASDA made a mistake on their webpage
you could send a note to proffice@nasda.go.jp to see what they
might have to say.

The page with the disputed claim is:
