Postal covers were flown aboard ESA's ATV-4 "Albert Einstein" to the International Space Station and returned aboard the SpaceX's CRS-3 Dragon mission in June 2014.

More information to follow later.

Postal covers and cards were flown on all ATV missions, organized by space collectors associations in or near major contractors in Europe, namely in France, Italy and Germany.
