The primary focus of the Foton project is materials science research, but some missions have also carried experiments for other fields of research including biology. The original Foton series included 12 launches from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome from 1985 to 1999.

The first was in 2002 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, which ended in failure due to a problem in the launch vehicle.
