selected space history documents

Michael Cassutt's 1986 book Who's Who In Space: The First 25 Years is a collection of narrative biographies and portraits of every astronaut, cosmonaut and international traveler who either had flown in space or was selected to do so within the first quarter century of space exploration.

This copy of his book is signed in-person by 323 space explorers. Of those, 173 were selected after the book was published and have signed on the title and chapter pages.

The autographs of 40 space explorers who passed away prior to signing the book are also mounted by their profiles.

"Who's Who In Space" on the Antiques Roadshow!

Who has signed "Who's Who In Space"
Names in blue indicate signatures on exterior items (e.g. index cards) mounted within the book. Names in dark gray indicate autographs still needed. Names in yellow are signed in ink flown aboard Skylab from July 28, 1973 to Sept. 25, 1973 - over 24.5 million miles during 585 orbits.
