RUSSIAN PROGRAM





A truly wonderful and unique item - an invitation to a press conference of the Academy of Sciences with the 23 signatures of every Soviet cosmonaut from Vostok 1 (12-4-61) to Soyuz 9 (1-6-70). See below for a signature guide for the item.



The necessary key to the above item! The signature on the front of the invitation is that of Shonin.








A signed copy of Gagarin's book 'Road to the Cosmos'








Perhaps the rarest cover ever - a signed Soyuz 11 cover








A cover commemorating Gagarin's flight signed by him at a press conference five days after the flight








A 6*3 commemorative stamp block signed by the first four cosmonauts Gagarin, Titov, Nikolayev and Popovich

SOYUZ TM-12 FLOWN COVER

This cover flew with the Soyuz TM-12 crew to the Mir space station in May 1991. The crew included Helen Sharman who became Britains first person in space. The full TM-12 crew of Artesbarsky, Krikalev and Sharman all signed the cover. It is also signed by Manarov and Afanasyev who, along with Sharman, accompanied the cover back to earth.
