Lot 0017: VINTAGE RUSSIAN PHOTO ALBUM EARTH FROM SPACE

41 reviews

A vintage album edition titled Earth from Space published in 1983 contains the photo taken from the Soviet orbital space station Salyut 6, the eighth station of the Salyut program. Also includes the gift inscription and the photo portrait of the owner, Igor Seleznyov. Salyut 6 was launched on 29 September 1977 by a Proton rocket. Salyut 6 was the first space station to receive large numbers of crewed and uncrewed spacecraft for human habitation, crew transfer, international participation, and resupply, establishing precedents for station life and operations which were enhanced on Mir and the International Space Station. Salyut 6 also featured a KATE-140 stereoscopic topographic mapping camera with a focal length of 140 millimeters, which captured images of 450 × 450 kilometers with a resolution of 50 meters in the visible and infrared spectra, which could be operated either remotely or by the resident crews.
