Flown cover carried on the SpaceX Crew-1 mission, the first operational crewed flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft, signed in space by the SpaceX Crew-1 and Soyuz MS-17 crews: Michael S. Hopkins, Victor J. Glover, Soichi Noguchi, Shannon Walker, Sergey Ryzhikov, Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, and Kathleen Rubins, as well as Oleg Novitsky. The cover bears four onboard International Space Station stamps, including the postmark of the Russian segment of the ISS. In fine condition.
Flown ISS covers with signatures from the respective SpaceX and NASA astronaut crews are quite rare and exist in limited editions of 15 to 30 covers per flight. As no official crew-signed launch covers from any of the SpaceX Crew Dragon flights are known to be available for public purchase, this flown ISS cover represents a true space-philatelic rarity of modern space flight history.
