astp_r_c_o_KPP (AST-31-2620)

“ASTP ONBOARD VIEW --- This scene photographed from a rendezvous window of the American Apollo spacecraft in Earth-orbit shows the Soviet Soyuz spacecraft contrasted against a black-sky background with a heavily cloud-covered Earth below. The three major components of the Soyuz are the spherical-shaped Orbital Module, the bell-shaped Descent Vehicle, and the cylindrical-shaped Instrument Assembly Module. The docking system on the Orbital Module was specially designed to interface with the docking system on the Apollo’s Docking Module. The ASTP astronauts and cosmonauts visited each other’s spacecraft while the Soyuz and Apollo were docked in Earth-orbit for two days.”

Signed & inscribed to Jürgen by Valery Kubasov, along with whatever else he wrote. Frankly, who cares about his signature, it’s more about the photo, which is a lesser seen/published view from the mission.

The signature is JSA authenticated, apparently verifiable at the following by entering the affixed certificate number:
