At Drouot same year saw three or four ago, traded with the start of 140 (could be wrong), and left what is around 200-340 thousand euros (also may be mistaken, but the order of numbers in that range) But for this to be prettier, she was a gray-aluminum
colors are not "combed."

What a sad irony of selling space and a day in NY.

---------- COOL!

Since April 12 will be 50 years of flight by Yuri Gagarin.

That note, and they and we.

Well, not a spaceship, and the lander.

Lot 25
 Vostok Program Vostok 3KA- 2 Space Capsule
Property formerly at the Central Specialized Design Bureau, sold for the partial benefit of the Kuybyshev Training Institute, Samara, Russia
CAD - 2 - a device that was used as a " pen test "[COLOR=darkslategray"](paved the way)[/COLOR] before starting the Yuri Gagarin .
Three weeks before Gagarin's flight in the East APC - 2 test-fired . This was the last training flight . The ship made ​​one revolution around the Earth on board were mannequin Ivan Ivanovich , and the dog star. The dummy was ejected , and the dog returned safe and sound . After 20 days of Yuri Gagarin into space on a replica of the ship , later named " Vostok - 1 ".

fross, wondering how he was there (the national relic)?

Eugene, there is written: TsSKB Progress
/Central Specialized Design Bureau put up for sale

Strange .. so all national, space relics sold out ... Who gave them permission to export interesting?

Them ? :D
Yes, you understand what this business ? Who can deny it ? They launch astronauts into space , bringing in tourists for money . Who are they banned? A special law will DG ? They have violated ?

They are here , the city gave a space ship - the legendary rocket - "Soyuz " a monument of Astronautics .
She seemed to "decorate" the facade of the museum and exhibition center "Samara Space . " Incidentally, this is a true " union " and is unique in Europe, a vertically - mounted rocket - the media assembled .

 Stands now, this rocket in the city center ( 5 minutes from me . walk ) .

Well done, what can I say but "East" is a history of the Soviet Union ..?
Or am I wrong?

And from the fact that the capsule is bydet from some private collector in love with space exploration, this story somewhere to go?

Or suppose that is collecting dust in a warehouse-plant "Progress"?

It is easy to arrange the export of scrap metal . In the 90 's so dragged abroad and submarines , and steam locomotives . And if they have a subsidiary company , could draw on the branch . Many ways , alas .

Eriksson, so now all the domestic space program to launch people together with the United States.
The International Space Station (ISS) are the people delivering the shuttles Discovery, and we will ship - the Union.
