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.
