It said: ASTRONAUT WANTED, NO EXPERIENCE NECCESSARY.....".

This is a COPY of what appears to be a standard letter issued by Helen Sharman and sent to people who wrote to her following her spaceflight. She discusses her experiences and personal feelings about the both the training and mission, followed by her post-mission thoughts. We believe this is a standard letter which was merely copied for each response, only writing their name at the top to make it more personal. The signature does NOT appear to be original. Nevertheless a nice piece of memorabilia. Good condition.

The official crew portrait, reproduced in typical Soviet/Russian style; greyscale, slightly out of focus, signs of dust and minor scratches on the lens and not cut exactly right. With that aside this photograph measures the standard 8.5" x 7.25" and has been hand-signed by the entire Soyuz TM-12 crew. Ideal for framing although not the highest quality photograph. Signatures are bold, clean and as expected for a signed glossy photograph.

Mission	Soyuz TM-25. Mir Space Station Expedition 23.
Date	Launched 10th February 1997. Landing 14th August 1997.
Highlights	This was a mission that seemed to consist of an endless series of collisions, breakdowns, fires, and other emergencies.

The Soyuz landing rockets failed to fire on touchdown, giving one of the roughest landings experienced by a returning Mir crew.

This wonderful two-part framed presentation consists of a folding black metal display with glass inserts. On the left side is a 6" x 4" image of the Mir Space Station. On the right side is a large 4.5" piece of the Soyuz TM-25 parachute strap that became the crews only survival when the retro-rockets failed to fire on touchdown. It is mounted to a declaration of authenticity with information about the mission. Authenticated and hand-signed by TM-25 Flight Engineer Aleksandr Lazutkin himself. Total size; 12" x 4.25".
