- A beautiful space race souvenier from the former Soviet Union featuring Andriyan Nikolayev, who piloted Vostok 3. The diameter is 1.9cm and the badge contains an actual miniature photograph of Nikolayev, hero of the Soviet Union. The badge is in effect a tiny picture frame and has a safety clasp style fastener to the rear.
- Nikolayev flew on two space flights: Vostok 3 (becoming the third Soviet cosmonaut) and Soyuz 9. On both, he set new endurance records for the longest time a human being had remained in orbit.
