I am looking for the itinerary of the ASTP astronauts and cosmonauts as to dates and cities visited. Any information scans of covers will be greatly appreciated.

I had about 5 covers canceled at each of the 12 US cities that the five ASTP astros/cosmos visited and have probably informed you of them before. As far as non-US cities and countries, all I know about is Star City, USSR. I'll be glad to list the US cities and dates if you or anyone is interested.

Hello John and Robert - gladly and the list follows. Of course, this was done many years ago and I don't know where the official list I used is, so this can't be considered an official list, but is the best I can do at this time:

• Washington, DC., Oct. 13, 1975
  
• Chicago, IL, Oct. 14
  
• Omaha, NE, Oct.15
  
• San Francisco, CA, Oct. 16
  
• Newport Beach, CA Oct. 16
  
• Sausalito, CA, Oct. 17
  
• Reno, NV, Oct.17
  
• Las Vegas, NV, Oct. 20
  
• Los Angeles, CA, Oct. 20
  
• Atlanta, GA, Oct. 23
  
• Nashville, TN, Oct.24
  
• New York, NY, Oct.25

The covers I had done were canceled well, with 10 of the 12 receiving well-applied hand stamp cancels.

John (or others), if you're interested in seeing scans of a few or would like a set, let me know.

Bob
