Lot 298		Voskhod-3VK, 1964, FLOWN Heatshield Plug (1.5x1.5") This resin (wood?) capsule plug is fully grooved on the sides, cut diagonally across the top with traces of adhesive and is deeply recessed on the bottom. This plug flew on an unmanned, test version of the spacecraft from which Leonov took man's first space walk. Voskhod ("Sunrise") was Sergei Korolov's low earth orbit space craft, comparable to the American Gemini program. This flown plug is the first we have encountered from this program. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 299		1966-1971, Soyuz 7K-OK, Attitude Control Maneuvering Engine (6x8x2.5") This key component of the Service Module of the Soyuz experimental spacecraft was used to control the spacecraft's orientation or attitude. Capsules of this design were planned for manned circumlunar missions and fueled this type motor with hydrogen peroxide. This thruster is complete with fuel assembly and shows the rainbow effects on the metal of numerous firings. Extensive engraved ID numbers show that the Russians were as bureaucratic as NASA. A fascinating piece of memorabilia. Estimated Value $3,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $6,038
Lot 300		1966-1971, Soyuz 7K-OK, FLOWN Capsule Plug (2x.75") A fascinating resin (wood ?) plug with an overhanging rim, side threads and a large cloth plug in the center - with red cryllic painted numbers. This plug came from one of the unmanned flights in this series. This is the first time we have seen a plug of this type. The manned Soyuz spacecraft can be classified into design generations. Soyuz 1 through Soyuz 11 (1967-1971) were first-generation vehicles, carrying a crew of up to three without spacesuits and distinguished from those following by their bent solar panels and their use of the Igla automatic docking navigation system, etc. The first unmanned test of this version was Cosmos-133, launched on Nov. 28, 1966. This first generation was called Soyuz 7K-OK and encompassed the original Soyuz and Salyut 1 spacecrafts. Variations within it were primarily docking fixtures; the first nine examples had no internal hatch and crew transfer had to take place by means of spacewalks, employing spacesuits kept in the orbital module, which functioned as an airlock, as done on Soyuz 4 and 5. This version was used up to 1971. Estimated Value $500 - 750. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 301		Soyuz TM-33, 2002, FLOWN Descent Module "Porthole" (14x4") This complex, double pane window was used for "earth observation" from the Soyuz descent module during flight. The glass in the porthole is made from special mountain crystal and the insulation layer surrounding the glass shows clear signs of charring. Iridescence is visible in the glass as a result of the extreme heat of re entry. The descent module is the only part of the Soyuz spacecraft to return to earth after a mission, thus the number of windows or other flown parts from a mission are limited. Energia (the company that made Russian spacecrafts) has calculated that a Soyuz takes two years to build and costs $65 million to fly. There are numerous ID numbers engraved on the rim surrounding this window. Weighing in excess of 15 lbs, this piece is sure to be an attention-getter in any collection. Estimated Value $3,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 302		Soyuz TMA-1, 2002, FLOWN Heat Shield Plug (.75x1") This plug is encased in a shadow box-like mount (8.5x10.5") with a picture of the Soyuz descent capsule on the ground after landing. Note the landing crater in the foreground. The plug looks well used and is a good piece of memorabilia from a momentous flight. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 303		Soyuz TMA-1, 2002, FLOWN Heat Shield and Ablative Coating Fragments (1x.75" and 1.5x.5") These two fragments are encased in a shadow box-like mount (8.5x10.5") with a picture of the Soyuz spacecraft above. Both pieces were recovered from the descent capsule after the flight. The Soyuz TMA-1 mission was the 5th mission to fly to the International Space Station. When the descent stage landed after the flight in May, 2003, it was carrying Russian commander Budarin and American astronauts Bowersox and Petit. Due to the Columbia disaster, this Russian spacecraft was the only means home for the crew. Mishaps during landing caused the crew to land outside their normal landing area, causing a delay of several hours till they could be located and recovered. These fragments have quite a story to tell. Estimated Value $150 - 250. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 304		Soyuz TMA-1, 2002, FLOWN Roll Thruster Heat Shield Cover (10x1.5") An attractive piece of memorabilia consisting of what looks like a brown wood/resin circle with Beta cloth on one side. The circle has a diagonal hole in the center with clear signs of charring surrounding where the roll thruster extended through. There appears to be one faint ID number in the center. This piece came from the descent stage of the capsule. A great piece with which to play "stump the expert". Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 305		1988-1997, Orlan-DMA "Eagle" EVA Space Suit. A massive, Russian spacesuit designed solely for used during spacewalks. Over the years, the Orlan suit went through several evolutionary models including the Orlan-D, DM, DMA and M versions, among others. The Orlan-D model had an operational life of three hours, the DM model of nine hours, the DMA model a functional life of four years, etc. The basic Orlan space suit is semi-rigid in that it has a hard torso and helmet, but flexible arms and legs. It was designed with a rear hatch entry through the integrated life support backpack that allows it to be donned relatively quickly (about <5 minutes). When in use, the first Orlan suits were attached to the spacecraft by an umbilical tether that supplied power and communications links. The Orlan-DM, and all subsequent models, were designed to be self-sustaining via the backpack, although the DMA model also had a connection port on the front for a 25 meter umbilical cord. Orlan space suits were first used for spacewalks on the Salyut stations, but for MIR they were replaced by the Orlan-DMA and M models. The Orlan-DMA was first tested in 1988 and went operational on January 26, 1990 with Viktorenko and Serebrov (Soyuz TM-8). The Orlan-M suit was first used in 1997 on MIR and continued in use on the International Space Station. Orlan spacesuits have been used by Russian, American and European astronauts over the years. In 2006, a retired Orlan suit, fitted with a radio transmitter, dubbed SuitSat-1, was launched into orbit from the ISS. This suit is complete with its life-support system in an integrated, "PPLS"- type backpack. The metal ball bearings and the fact that the suit arms and legs can be adjusted for size are notable features of this suit model. The oxygen supply system includes reserve oxygen storage and equipment for controlling and maintaining the oxygen pressure. The ventilation system and environmental gas composition-control system include scrubbing units for carbon dioxide and contaminate removal, as well as gas circulation-control equipment. Oxygen, water supplies, pumps and blowers are located inside the rear hatch. Although missing its external cover layer and the occasional part or two, this suit is virtually complete and will make a compelling display for a collector or a museum (Warning: actual use of this suit in space may be hazardous to your health). According to the book Russian Space Suits (2003) by Abramov, et. al., only 16 examples of this suit were made for testing and training and only 12 suits were made for operational use. In 1995, Hamilton Standard, the prime contractor for the space suit used on the Shuttle, had the only example of this suit in the United States. It was leased from the Russian government for study purposes. There may well be additional examples now in museums, but as near as we can tell, this is the only example presently on the open market and available to collectors. This is an important opportunity to acquire a key part of space history. Estimated Value $35,000 - 50,000. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 306		Sokol-K "Falcon" Crew Rescue Spacesuit. Developed as a result of the decompression accident onboard Soyuz-11, this first version of a rescue suit was worn by all Soviet crews from Soyuz-12 (1973) till Soyuz-36 (1980). Starting with Soyuz T-2, a modified version of this suit, with two entry zippers on the front, was put into use. Modifications of this version of the suit are still in use to this day. The Sokol-K rescue space suit was designed to be worn during critical phases of the mission - launch, docking and landing. NPP Zvezda was given the task of providing the suits. They rejected the use of existing Russian space suits and chose to base a new suit on the existing Sokol aviation pressure suit. The main modification to the aviation version of the suit was the replacement of the Sokol suit's hard helmet. Other features of the aviation suit that were considered unnecessary were removed to save weight. The new suit was named the Sokol-K; "K" being the abbreviation of the Russian word for space. The Sokol suit is constructed of two layers: an internal and an external. The internal part is made of an elastic or rubberized-type material and keeps serves to the suit pressurized for the realatively short times the suit was in use. The external layer is made of a flame resistant fabric, a type of Dacron. The suit, including the helmet and feet, is fully integrated; only the gloves are put on seperately. The helmet has a soft back cover and folds back when the wearer is upright: it can only fit over cosmonaut's head when he is lying in a knees-up position. The front of the helmet is clear polycarbonate. The wearer climbs into the suit via the neck-to-crotch front seam. The suit is then sealed by lacing the seam. The suit does not have its own life support system, but is rather connected to that of the Soyuz. It is thus not a "spacesuit" but a rescue, survival or pressure suit. Only about 300 Sokol flight suits and 135 training/testing suits of all types have been made in the past 35 years and only a limited number have survived the ravages of time. Although well used, this suit is a prime example of the early state of the art. It is complete with oxygen and air hoses and connectors, gloves (blue astronaut initials on each glove) and rubberized internal pressure lining. There is a red CCCP patch on the left shoulder, a round USSR patch on the right shoulder and a Zvezda blue/red patch on the chest. It is in need of a good home and will make an important addition to any space collection. Estimated Value $10,000 - 15,000. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 307		Soyuz "Soft Landing" Retro Rocket (8x7") This fairly heavy, used retrorocket is a fascinating piece of Russian technology. The Soyuz descent module descends through the atmosphere shielded by a heatshield until the rate of descent has slowed sufficiently to deploy parachutes to slow the descent capsule even further. At a height of about 2 meters (about 7 feet) from the earth's surface, the heatshield is released, exposing four retrorockets which fire just prior to earth impact, thus providing a zero-velocity, soft landing for the module - and hopefully a safe landing for the cosmonauts contained in the capsule. While used on all of the Soyuz descent capsules, these retrorocket engines are almost never available to collectors. Since American space flights land in water, or, in the case of the Space Shuttle, use a different landing concept, similar engines are non-existent and can only come from Russian flights. A similar engine realized about $11,000 in a recent auction. This retrorocket will fill an important position in any space collection. Estimated Value $7,500 - 10,000.

Lot 308		Zvezda/International Space Station, 2000, Liquid Fuel Engine (11x4.75") This orientation engine was part of Zvezda ("Star"), the Russian module that was their principal contribution to the ISS. The module was designed to be the core module of the ISS and provide living quarters and life support to the crew. Originally designed for the MIR-2 space station, the engine was amalgamated into the ISS after the MIR-2 project was cancelled. This engine (#11D428A) was used as a part of the united engine installation assembly and has a thrust of 13.3kg for the channels of pitch, yaw and roll. It is in excellent condition with a movable mount extending over the beta cloth covered nozzle and yellow foam core insulation over the fuel valve assembly. This is the first engine of any type we have seen from the ISS. Estimated Value $3,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $6,038
Lot 309		Soyuz TMA-6, 2005, J. Phillips Flight Suit. This unused flight suit is the first example of this type we have seen. In addition to the usual pockets and zippers, this suit has a red, white and blue American flag across the chest and a bilingual velcro black/gray "J. Phillips" nametag at right. There is a velcro US flag on the left arm, stirrup feet and an open, elasticised "rear end". The suit is in new condition with its original clear plastic bag and Russian Kentaur-Science, Co. Ltd bilingual label at top. The size of the suit is listed as being 182-112-106 (probably = Large) and the suit is listed as No. 209. There do not appear to be any labels inside the suit. A great opportunity to add a fascinating modern piece of Russian space memorabilia to your collection. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 310		c1970/80s, Proton Launch Vehicle Engine Ignition System Component (5.5x4x7.5") The Proton is probably the most well known Russian launch vehicle of all time. It is currently the world's largest launch vehicle in use. The basic launch vehicle, known as the Proton-K, consists of a first-stage with six engines that are fed propellants from a single, centrally located oxidizer tank surrounded by six outer tanks. The second stage has four engines and the third stage has a single engine. Over the years, the four stage version has launched a wide array of deep space and communications payloads. The three-stage versions of the rocket are used to launch heavy 20-ton payloads such as the Zvezda and Zary modules of the International Space Station. This component is instrumental for proper ignition sequencing of the engines. The piece is covered with Russian ID and other markings. It weighs several pounds and will make a good conversation piece. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 311		Salyut-7, 1977, Orlan D Eva Ankle Boot (12.5x4.5x5") This square toed boot is covered in white space suit material and has a leather sole. The inside of the boot is labeled with the date 22006-77 and the size "59-77" (= Large ?). This boot is designed to be worn over the integrated soft feet of the Orlan-D EVA spacesuit as a protection against abrasion of the integrated feet. It shows slight wear which would be natural since it was only worn in space. The Orlan-D EVA spacesuit was only used in conjunction with Salyut-6 and Salyut-7. Given that the Salyut-6 spacecraft and its contents were lost when its orbit degraded in 1982, we are making the assumption that, although showing a manufacture date of 1977, this boot was used on Salyut-7. Regardless of where/when it was used, you will probably never have a chance to see this boot again. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 312		2002, Cosmonaut Corset (about 16x10") This khaki/black elastic belt has three adjustable velcro straps and removable white plastic "stays" for support. There is a tan label inside that has a printed ID number and a date: "0680002". The initials: "AIL" (Aleksandr Ivanovich Lazutkin) are printed above. Cosmonaut Flight Engineer Lazutkin is an interesting guy. He was the backup for Soyuz TM-23 and TM-24 and finally flew on Soyuz TM-25 where he spent 185 days in space. On the return, the soft landing retrorockets failed, causing one of the hardest "safe" landing in Soviet/Russian space history. Perhaps that is why, when he was scheduled to fly on the esa/Russian "Odissea Mission" in 2002, he made sure to have this belt made. Regardless of the reason, the belt is in pristine, unused condition and will make a great conversation piece in any collection. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 313		Soyuz Instrument Warning Light Panel (4x4x3") Taken from the main cabin control panel, this module provided the crew with information on the status and operating modes of the system indicating: mode completion, onboard system parameters, status of the operation of the combined propulsion system, execution of descent hand controller commands, etc. There is a Russian ID plate attached to the lower right. Slight faults, but in excellent overall condition. Estimated Value $150 - 250. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $156

On the title page of the Gagarin's 1961 book: "Road to Space" (Printing House of the Department of Defense, Moscow, 238pp., hard with dust jacket). This scarce book, written by the first human in space soon after his return to earth, is an important addition to any library. Being signed by the author, and additionally signed by his fellow cosmonauts makes it even more important. As an added fillip, the dust jacket on this volume is a rarer version that usually seen - and in generally great condition to boot. What more could you ask for. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 315		Vostok 1, 1961, Autographed Photo (8x5.5") An unusual vintage black and white group reprint photo signed by the first nine cosmonauts including Gagarin, Titov, Nikolayev, Popovich, Bykovsky, Tereshkova, Komarov, Feoktistov and Yegorov.

He wrote the book to tell the world about his extraordinary flight. Extensive black and white illustrations at the back and in excellent overall condition. Few examples of this book ever made it to the West. That it is autographed by the first two cosmonauts in space, is even more extraordinary. Estimated Value $500 - 750. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $300
Lot 325		Vostok 2, 1961, Gagarin & Titov Autographs. Signed on a color picture postcard. Titov's autograph is slightly smeared on the shine of the card, but an attractive piece of memorabilia. Estimated Value $350 - 500. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $210

Scarce and attractive. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $150
Lot 329		1965, Korolev Handwritten Note on a Telephonegram Message. This is a rather lengthy, motivational note from the Soviet Chief Engineer. It is unusual as Korolev was always rushed for time and wrote mainly short, terse notes. This one reads: "To C(omrades) Tsybin, Raushenbakh, Maximov, Petrov. You must seriously build up your own base. You must solve this question now, and solve it positively! Again you obtained a mistake in your starting data?…must be kept everything: functions of permanent control and other projects. Yours S. Korolev". Given the secret and paranoid nature of the Soviet space program. Korolev notes, when available, are a glimpse into the hidden thinking behind the program. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
Lot 330		Sergei Korolev Autograph. Signed on a black and white reprint photo of him holding a "space dog".

An attractive piece of memorabilia. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $150
Lot 331		Autographed "The Cosmonaut" Wall Poster/Newspaper (24x18.5") An attractive, multicolor homemade poster/newspaper, usually made by the cosmonaut's wives and designed to be hung for display in a public place. This poster was issued in honor of the 55th Birthday of the Head of the First Regiment of Cosmonauts, Nikolai Kamanin. It is boldly signed by 12 different cosmonauts, using different pens including Gagarin, Titov, Nikolayev, Popovich, Belyayev, Komarov, Volinov, Bykovsky, Leonov, Khrunov, Gorbatko and Shonin. A vertical fold in the center of the poster unfortunately affects the autographs of Gagarin and one other, but as a unique piece of memorabilia, this just can't be beat. Obviously it was designed as a personal/public birthday card rather than a piece of political propaganda. As such, it is priceless. Estimated Value $750 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $450
Lot 332		Cosmonaut Autographs. Lot of two different, including a color photocard autographed by the first man in space, Gagarin AND a black and white photo (8.5x4.5") picturing and autographed by seven cosmonauts in different color inks (Filipchenko, Kubasov, Nikolayev, etc.).
