Beginning on October 4, the 50th anniversary of the Sputnik 1 launch, the International Space University (ISU) will be conducting an auction on eBay of unusual and interesting space-related and Space Age articles.

Included in this auction will be a fantastic museum quality Sputnik 1 replica, the opportunity to fly a 1 kilogram payload in space, lunch with former astronauts in various locations, space art, beautiful coffee table books and other items autographed by astronauts, and more!

Proceeds from the auction will be used for scholarships to enable prospective students to attend ISU.
