Vintage Soviet USSR “Kosmosvyaz” (Космосвязь) space badge featuring a striking space scene with rockets, an orbital trajectory, a planet and stars. The inscription “КОСМОСВЯЗЬ” refers to space communications, and the design is centered on the theme of spacecraft and communication in the Soviet space program.
This particular design is documented in the 1977 reference catalog Cosmonautics on USSR Badges 1957–1975. The catalog describes a rectangular badge with a starry-sky background, two spacecraft transmitting radio signals, the Earth, Saturn and the inscription “Космосвязь”. The catalog identifies the badge as an aluminum construction with enamel decoration.
The combination of rockets, orbital lines and the dark enamel-like space background gives this piece a particularly attractive Cold War-era space aesthetic. It is an interesting collectible for enthusiasts of Soviet space exploration, cosmonautics, spacecraft, satellite communications, USSR memorabilia and vintage space badges.
The exact production year of this particular example is not confirmed, so no specific year is claimed. Its design is, however, documented in the Soviet cosmonautics badge literature covering the 1957–1975 period.
The badge shows visible signs of age and previous use, including surface wear, scratches, edge wear and losses/imperfections to the dark finish. Please carefully review all photos, as they are part of the description.
