# Books in space > A unique project with Roscosmos: sending a book to the ISS, a launch from Baikonur, autographs from cosmonauts, and rare merchandise items. - Canonical page: https://shorin.me/en/blog/2024/04/baikonur/ - Page language: English - Published: 2024-04-03 - Tags: Management, Space, Book - Russian version: https://shorin.me/blog/2024/04/baikonur/index.md In 2023, I collaborated with Roscosmos State Corporation to send four copies of A.G. Zakharov's book, 'How it was: Memoirs of the Head of Baikonur Cosmodrome,' to the ISS. Despite the project's year-long preparation, I do not regret the effort. - It added an unusual project to my portfolio and gave me the unforgettable experience of witnessing a rocket launch at Baikonur Cosmodrome. I highly recommend this experience to everyone. - In my personal library, I have a book that has been to space and was signed by cosmonauts on the ISS. - Additionally, I have a unique piece of merchandise from Roscosmos, commemorating the launch that delivered the books into space. This includes an official mock-up of the launch vehicle and a commemorative medal. P.S. It is worth noting that cosmonauts use markers instead of pens or pencils. Furthermore, there is a single copy of a seal that is kept exclusively on the ISS. Therefore, if this seal is present on anything, it guarantees that the item has been in space. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 ## Media ## Original posts - LinkedIn:
