Author	Topic: NZ Post 'New Zealand in Space' 2018 stamps
TRS Member Posts: 721 From: Wellington, New Zealand Registered: Mar 2003	posted 02-07-2018 07:21 PM The New Zealand Post has issued a commemorative "New Zealand in Space" set of stamps marking the Electron (and Humanity Star) launch. On Sunday 21 January 2018 New Zealand's role in the international aerospace industry was elevated to a whole new level, when Rocket Lab launched its Electron rocket into orbit from Mahia Peninsula. We celebrate this extraordinary achievement with a commemorative stamp sheet. The New Zealand in Space mint stamp sheet features six stamps of photographs taken of Electron's journey into orbit: the rocket itself, Rocket Lab's Launch Complex 1, the 'Humanity Star', Mahia Peninsula, the moment the launch took place and Earth, as seen from Electron.
