In sightings, there is an entry for a Gennady Padalka signing in the German city of Magdeburg.

It says "March 31 - April 2" and then cites an 11 a.m. appointment. Does this mean Padalka will be there on all three days, at 11 am?

Perhaps its a failure in my translation (or more appropriately, Google's) but according to Raumfahrt Concret:
quote:
31. März bis 2. April 2005

Gennadi Padalka
Jeweils von 11:00 Uhr bis 18:00 Uhr ist der zweifache Langzeitkosmonaut und Kommandant des Orbitalkomplexes MIR als auch der Internationalen Raumstation, Gennadi Padalka im Alleen-Center Mageburg anzutreffen.


I read this as to mean 11:00am each day. Am I mistaken?

Robert,

I am happy you found this sighting as I missed it entirely.

The original text says that he'll be there every day between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. .... I find that a bit hard to believe he'll be doing 7 hours in the barrel for three days, but what can we say ...

Jürgen

I am being told that Gennady Padalka will carry flown covers from his flight(s) during his visit to Magdeburg which he is ready to sell for a fair price.
