I noticed that some go up for sale. How much does one go for?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Very few (in the single digits) have been offered for sale, and generally, it is the shell only -- all internal instrumentation is removed.The Soyuz TM-10 spacecraft (which flew to the Mir space station between August 1 and December 10, 1990) was lot 175 at Sotheby's "Russian Space History" auction on December 11, 1993. It sold for $1,652,500.Self-funded spaceflight participants have been offered in some cases to purchase their Soyuz for a price exceeding $1 million.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Fezman92</TD><TD>I guess if you have the money to go into space you can afford the ship as well. Thanks for the info. Adding a Soyuz to the bottom of my 'wish list'. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>GACspaceguy</TD><TD> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Fezman92: Adding a Soyuz to the bottom of my 'wish list'<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Not me, it's used and it has a ton of miles on it. <IMG SRC="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/smile.gif"></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Fezman92</TD><TD>Ha.

I'm sure they have enough to give every science museum in the world one now.Editor's note: Threads merged.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Even though Roscosmos uses the Soyuz spacecraft for their missions to the space station, the capsules remain the property of the company that builds them.As such, they are all privately-owned by RSC Energia. Most have ended up as empty shells (their instrumentation is salvaged and reused) in a scrapyard outside Moscow. As noted in the linked topic above, some have been placed in museums. A few have been sold (and then have been loaned to museums).As of Soyuz TMA-15M, there have been 124 Soyuz spacecraft launched to space.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>p51</TD><TD> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Fezman92: I guess if you have the money to go into space you can afford the ship as well. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The remains of Soyuz TMA-14 is at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
