This is a package of coffee with milk that was prepared as space food for Soviet cosmonauts. It was not flown in space. The package contains condensed coffee and milk in a plastic-coated metal tube. All are contained in a sealed, plastic container that reseembles a toothpaste tube. The Poltsamaa Agricultural Factory in the Estonian Republic of the USSR prepared this food. A donor gave this item to the museum in the 1970s.
