1975 Apollo-Soyuz Stamp Mint Sheet

Product Description

The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, launched in July 1975, was the first international crewed space mission, conducted jointly by the United States and the Soviet Union. The USPS and Soviets celebrated this "handshake in space," by releasing se-tenant stamps; the Soviet issue depicted before link-up, and the American, after link-up. This intact mint sheet symbolizes the milestone meeting in outerspace.
