Space mail Catastrophic mail of Soyuz MS-10 orbital module cosmonaut autograph

Description

The first Russian space catastrophic mail.
The “
Expedition 57
” envelope was prepared to be delivered to the International Space Station by the
“Soyuz MS-10” spaceflight.
Aboard the ISS the cover was to be cancelled with the ISS board seals at the day of Soyuz MS-10 / ISS docking. The envelope was on board the Russian “Soyuz MS-10” spacecraft.
The “Soyuz MS-10” spaceflight aborted shortly after launch due to a failure of the “Soyuz-FG” launch vehicle boosters. During the accident and the working of the launch escape system, the Orbital module was parted from the landing capsule. So, the orbital module fell to the Earth from a height of 50 kilometers!!! The very much deformed and oblate orbital module was found by the special rescue team in the steppes of Kazakhstan. Later on, the 5 such “Expedition 57” envelopes were put out from the deformed Orbital module and were given to cosmonaut
Aleksey Ovchinin
, commander of the "Soyuz MS-10" spacecraft.
The cover was handwritten by cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin:
"
11.10.2018 this envelope was on board the "Soyuz MS-10" spacecraft inside the Orbital module
"
Russian abbreviation БО means an official technical term Бытовой Отсек (in English - Orbital module). In spite of the "Soyuz MS-10" crew landed safety inside the landing capsule, the other parts of the rocket-carrier and the "Soyuz MS-10"spcecraft fell to Earth from a Hight of 50 kilometers, so the philatelic material which was in the Orbital compartment may be consider to be
the first Russian space catastrophic mail
