From a once top secret report on the development of the Sputnik satellite to a full scale exhibition example of the craft itself, this sale represents the most significant offering of such material in many years and none is as pertinent to the sale's subject as one of the most important records of Space Exploration, Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's original account of being the first man in space."
