Flown Soyuz Descent Capsule to be Auctioned:” A flown Russian descent capsule from Soyuz
TM-26 will be only the second flown manned capsule to be publicly
auctioned, and is the only joint U.S./MIR spacecraft ever to be
offered for sale. This is a historic piece of equipment, which comes ‘fully loaded’ and
includes an invitation for two to attend a Russian space launch, a
guided VIP tour of Star City and a tour of RSC Energia. Perhaps
even more important, all shipping, packing and customs detail will
be handled free of charge to the winning bidder.” Somewhat scorched from reentry, naturally.
