Expedition 34+35 FLOWN cover - official RKK Energyia edition

Expedition 34 / 35 Flown ISS Cover – Official RKK Energia Edition – Crew-Signed – Jacques Bracke Collection

A scarce official RKK Energia flown International Space Station cover from Expeditions 34 and 35, hand-signed by the resident astronauts and cosmonauts associated with this important period of ISS operations.

The combined crew roster comprised Kevin Ford, Oleg Novitskiy, Evgeny Tarelkin, Chris Hadfield, Roman Romanenko, Thomas Marshburn, Pavel Vinogradov, Alexander Misurkin, and Christopher Cassidy.

Expeditions 34 and 35 spanned a highly active period aboard the ISS in 2012–2013, combining long-duration scientific research, maintenance, spacewalk activity, and regular Soyuz crew rotations. The period is particularly notable for Chris Hadfield, who became Commander of Expedition 35 and one of the most internationally recognized astronauts of the ISS era, and for veteran cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov, who later commanded Expedition 36.

Provenance: From the personal collection of renowned astrophilatelist Jacques Bracke.

A desirable flown and crew-signed official RKK Energia issue documenting two consecutive ISS expeditions and an important chapter in the mature era of international long-duration spaceflight.
