VOSTOK 3 & 4
VOSTOK 3 & 4: A good vintage signed and inscribed postcard photograph by both Andriyan Nikolayev (Pilot of Vostok 3) and Pavel Popovich (Pilot of Vostok 4) individually, the image depicting the two cosmonauts outdoors together in head and shoulders poses wearing their uniforms and caps as they enjoy a light-hearted moment. Signed to the lower white border by Nikolayev in black fountain pen ink with his name alone (a minor smudge at the conclusion) and signed and inscribed by Popovich in purple fountain pen ink, with a three-line inscription in Cyrillic, further adding the date 1st October 1963 in his hand. VG
The Vostok 3 & 4 missions of August 1962 represented the first occasion that more than one crewed spacecraft was in orbit at the same time. Popovich and Nikolayev commuincated with each other via radio, marking the first ship-to-ship communications in space.
