The anonymous winner has purchased through the Internet the main artifact of a unique auction taking place in Paris (France). It was an astronaut suit with prices close to the predictions of experts.

The suit was designed and sewn by Soviet scientists for astronauts wearing during 1969 to 1977, weighing up to 70kg and could sustain themselves for 5 hours. These were still used by the Soviet Union until the 80s of the last century until a new, more convenient type replaced.

In addition to the heavy casual clothes that cannot be worn for walking, the auction house sells a watch that was used on the 2,300 Euro 'Soyuz' spacecraft and the key to unlock Countdown controls the ship's landing (land) for $ 1,600 for a private collector.
