Smilies Legend
[i]The stamps, of which there are three that form a single panoramic image, will be limited to a run of one million each and carry a face value of R$ 0,85 (approximately 39 cents U.S.). Like Pontes' flight, which has been entitled Missão Centario, the stamps also honor the centennial of the first heavier-than-air flight by Brazilian aviator Alberto Santo-Dumont in 1906. In addition to Santos-Dumont's 14-bis flying machine, the panes depict a Soyuz launch, orbiting spacecraft, the International Space Station (ISS) and Pontes' personal mission insignia.[/i]
