What Does It Cost To Send a Book to the ISS?
Manifest/RSC-E Telecon Minutes – DRAFT September 12, 2006
“RSC-E asked NASA if the astronaut’s book found while working with Baikonour specialists is an additional item, as it was not packed as crew preference. NASA replied that it is indeed, and that a fax has been sent as an official request to add as US Cargo. Natalya Ortiz read the fax to RSC-E. NASA stated that they will pay for the notebook this time, although it has always gone as crew preference in the past. This is still an open issue and will be worked accordingly.”
