Description
maxuta_id="011014" LETTER ONBOARD MIR TO A.VOLKOV FROM A.LEONOV    Cosmonaut Alexander Volkov "space mail" collection The letter to A. Volkov, S. Krikalev (Soyuz TM-13/Mir) from cosmonaut A. Leonov This is the letter to cosmonauts Alexander Volkov and Sergey Krikalev (Soyuz TM-13/Mir) from cosmonaut Alexey Leonov (who made the first space walk) and V. Dmitriev (the President of CHETEK company), it was sent from Star City. The letter is typed on the letterhead of CHETEK company and signed by them. The cover and the letter have stamps of Mir, Star City, Mir-92 (round in German), Mir-92 (square in 2 languages), "Joint space flight with German cosmonaut" (in Russian). The letter looks like the reminder to the cosmonauts onboard about "the commercial program" that could be done despite the hard work for the basic program stated by the government. This shows that cosmonaut Leonov made some commercial deals and asked the cosmonauts to participate for "reasonable payment". CHETEK company seems like the customer in that "commercial program" and the cosmonauts like contractors. That's irregular letter. Close to the text translation: ONBOARD SPACE STATION MIR-2 TO COSMONAUTS: VOLKOV Alexander Alexandrovich KRIKALEV Sergey Konstantinovich Dear guys! We know that you're busy with the hard work on the station. But we'd ask you to pay attention to the Program, which is onboard and which is commercial. We rely very very strongly on your high-quality and necessary work to realize it for all the population of the Earth. The practical result of your work will be the first example in Soviet cosmonautics history, when your expended energy and knowledge will be paid properly. We wish you health and luck and hope on close cooperation. With respect, A.A.LEONOV, V.B.DMITRIEV COA: Personally addressed certificate of authenticity from Mr. Volkov will be given to buyer according to wishes upon request. Happy buying!
