The International Space University (ISU) will be conducting a 10-day auction on eBay, beginning on October 4th - the 50th anniversary of the former Soviet Union’s Sputnik 1 launch…way back in 1957.

Lots of ISU goodies - like a museum-quality Sputnik 1 replica, the opportunity to fly a one-kilogram payload in space, even lunch with former astronauts will be up for eBay bid.

Also on the auction block are coffee-table books, space art, and other items autographed by astronauts.

Proceeds from the auction will be used for scholarships to enable prospective students to attend the International Space University.

For the auction, visit “ISU auction” under Stores on eBay.com, or link to it from the ISU website at: www.isunet.edu
