Beschreibung

Vintage high-gloss colour photographic print on fibre-based paper (ca 90 x 120 mm), signed in black ink by Sigmund Jähn. Explanatory pencilled text in Swedish on reverse. Colours faded, horizontal crease-mark. Sigmund Jähn (1937-2019), a pilot in the East German Air Force, became the first German in space when he joined Valery Bykovsky on the Soyuz 31 flight to the Salyut 6 space station. Their spacecraft was launched on 26 August 1978 and docked with the space station the following day. Jähn and Bykovsky eventually swapped spacecraft with the resident crew of Salyut 6, Vladimir Kovalyonok and Alexandr Ivanchenkov, and returned to Earth on Soyuz 29. They landed on 3 September 1978, having spent 7 days, 20 hours and 49 minutes in space.
