Astronauts who charge a fee



(most specify an 8 X 10 flat item, SASE, and no inscriptions)

The dates in parenthesis indicate how current the information is.


Note: Most of these astronauts specify that they are not responsible for items sent through the mail. Please understand that there are risks involved in sending valuable items through the mail to be autographed. If there are any questions regarding the signing policies please contact the responsible agency or astronaut.


The following astronauts have aligned themselves with The Space Source (formerly AVD Services): Buzz Aldrin, Scott Carpenter, Charles Conrad, Gordon Cooper, Walter Cunningham, Richard Gordon, Walter Schirra, Dave Scott, and Thomas Stafford. Full information on pricing plans can be found on The Space Source's order form. Note: this order form may not be the most recent, since The Space Source tends to change its prices without advance notice. If in doubt, contact them before sending any material.

Several astronauts, including Aldrin, Bean, Mitchell, Conrad, Duke, and Bluford sell autographs through agencies such as Premiere Space. The autographs sold by these companies are highly overpriced, and signed items from a good autograph dealer or from the astronauts themselves would be a much better value. Odyssey Group also sells autographs of many astronauts, but, again, many items are overpriced.
