This poster commemorates the 10th Planetary Congress of the Association of Space Explorers. The Congress took place August 9-16, 1994 in Moscow and Lake Baikal, Russia. Bearing the authentic signatures of sixty-seven of the participating astronauts from seventeen nations, it is part of a series of limited collector's edition posters that have been produced and signed at each ASE Congress since the Association was founded in 1985. A total of 127 of these posters were signed at the 10th Congress.

The poster has two headings, the main heading in Russian at the top, with the English displayed at the bottom. Around the periphery are printed translations of “Association of Space Explorers” in the native languages of all individuals who have flown in space. Clockwise, from upper left with Russian at the top, they include Romanian, Dutch, Japanese, Czech, Arabic, Polish, Spanish, Hungarian, Kazakh, Vietnamese, Italian, Bulgarian, Afghani, Hindi, Mongolian, German and French. The background is taken from NASA archive photo # 83 HC 213 which has been used for each set of posters in the series.

The central image of the poster is the work of Russian cosmonaut and artist Alexei Leonov and depicts Lake Baikal as seen from a space craft, represented by the ASE helmet logo, in a high-inclination, low-Earth orbit. The painting reflects the 10th Congress theme "Space and Ecology" as well as the Congress participants' particular concern for the Lake Baikal ecosystem. The helmet logo represents ASE members' conviction that space exploration and technology holds great promise for the resolution of environmental problems on Earth.
