On November 16, 1992, a Soyuz rocket fired a 7-foot-diameter, 13,889 pound (gross weight) spherical Resurs-500 capsule from Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia. Dubbed "Space Flight Europe-America 500", in honor of the International Year of Space and the 500th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World, the mission was to increase trade between Russia and USA.

The capsule orbited Earth for seven days before parachuting into the Pacific Ocean on the Washington State coast on November 22, 1992. It was scooped up and brought to Seattle by the Russian ship Marshal Krylov where it was met by city residents and officials and opened. Inside were several containers with messages of goodwill, gifts, souvenirs, and samples of Russian products. The space capsule was then part of the Bon Marche Holiday Parade in downtown Seattle and subsequently brought to The Museum of Flight. As of 2018 it is currently on display in the Apollo exhibit.
