Bob; A friend of mine has been to Satellite City(star) and used to sell trips to satellite city. He has a room full of Russian satellite souvenirs. He was at the site in the control bunker when the US astronauts went to MIR a few years ago. All the NASA bigwigs had to ride the bus to the hotel offsite, but he and his coterie stayed at the Russian generals VIP hotel at Star city. His pictures are fascinating. He has test jigs. After the launch he went onto the launch pad and picked up some souvenirs, burnt wires etc. He has tiles from the Russian re-useable shuttle, with pictures painted by the workers and sold as sounvenirs for they are dollar starved. It is illegal for Americans to even own tiles that have fallen from the US shuttle(a few fall each trip, and they are light enough to reach the ground intact in most cases, and NASA wants them urgently for fault analysis -why they fell off) E-mail me and I will give you his e-mail address, as you might want to see some of his pictures. He has a few on his web site at ramseyelectronics.com however he has several hundred, and rare-rare souvenirs, as that era is going now and most of those classic souvenirs are gone. Go to the museum, gallery 4 and 5, and perhaps more have USSR stuff. He is the one that told me about the foxbat problems. Bill
