Shannon Lucid’s flown copy of Cosmonautics News (Новости Космонабтики), No 4/119, 12-25 February 1996. This 64 page booklet covers various US and Russian spaceflights taking place in 1996. Staplebound, signed and flight-certified by Lucid on cover. Also stamped in red with pentagonal “onboard Space Station Mir” hand stamp.
This item is unique in that it flew on three very different spacecraft: It launched from Baikonur on May 5 1996 on Progress M-31, an unmanned supply vehicle; it was transferred aboard the Mir space station, where it remained for 140 days (7 May - 24 Sep 1996); and it was returned to earth on 26 September 1996 by Shannon Lucid aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-79).
Excellent rare example of a rare flown magazine. Comes with an Orbital Artifacts COA, your 100% guarantee of authenticity.
