Description: The sculpture Cosmic Dancer, made by artist Arthur Woods, was sent aboard a Progress rocket to the Russian Mir station on May 22, 1993.

The work, a painted aluminum geometric structure measuring approximately 35 x 35 x 40 centimeters and weighing exactly one kilogram (2.2 lbs), was the first three-dimensional work designed specifically to evolve in space. The purpose of the operation was to explore the properties of a weightless sculpture and the integration of a work of art in a space program that usually included only man.
