collectSPACE Chinese postage stamps honor Shenzhou 11 taikonauts now on space labChina's latest astronauts to launch into space have landed on a series of stamps and related postal souvenirs celebrating their on-going mission. Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong, who docked their Shenzhou 11 spacecraft to China's Tiangong-2 space lab on Tuesday (Oct. 18) beginning a month-long stay at the complex, are featured on the new postage stamps issued by the China National Philatelic Corporation, which is authorized by the China Post to sell stamp products to the public.  |

My Mandarin is not what it use to be. Is there an English translation for the China Philatelic Corporation website? |

It would be nice if the stamps on the sheet were se-tenant, that is, one stamp showing the space station, the other showing the spacecraft, and together they would form a unified image of the two craft docked. |

There is no English version. You can use Google Translate.Previous Chinese stamp issues and covers have made their way to eBay for Western sales, but they can be found now on Taobao.com using 神舟十一号 (Shenzhou 11) as a search term. |
