Canada Post reveals stamp for Canadarm space shuttle robotic arm

More than three and a half decades after it first reached out into space, the Canadarm is set to extend its legacy by appearing on a new postage stamp.

Canada Post, Canada's postal service, revealed the new maple leaf-shaped stamp at a ceremony held at the Glen Ames Senior Public School in Toronto on April 28. Deepak Chopra, Canada Post's president and CEO, was joined by Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen for the stamp's unveiling.

Do I see that right that you cannot order "just" the Canadarm stamp, but need to order all four stamps issued for "Canada 150" on this day?

All 10 stamps, but yes. They will be issued as a set on June 1 in two formats.
The self-adhesive stamps are available in a booklet of 10 (4 million stamps). A gummed pane of 10 stamps, with circle perforations 4.5 cm in diameter, is also available (80,000 panes). Official First Day Covers, one for each stamp design and each cancelled in OTTAWA ON, are available in a pack of 10 (10,000 packs).

All times are CT (US)
