The First Art Exhibition in Earth Orbit

C E R T l F l C A T E The crewmembers of the EUROMIR 95 mission certify that the twenty original works of art comprising the first exposition in space, entitled 'Ars ad Astra', were flown on board the Space Station MIR from 10 October 1995 until 29 February 1996. These artistic creations displayed in space constituted a welcome enhancement to the scientific and technical endeavour of the mission. The EUROMIR 95 mission lasted from 3 September 1995 until 29 February 1996, covering more than 179 days in space. The crew circled the Earth nearly 3000 times.
