🛰️ Theme & Design

This set is part of a “Space research / Space satellites” issue that celebrates early satellite technology and space exploration. Designs typically show various satellites and space-related imagery such as:

• Telstar communications satellite (USA) – depicted on one of the stamps.
• Weather satellite “TIROS” (USA) – depicted on another value in the set.
• Additional satellites may be included in the full set, showing early space technology motifs.

These stamps are multicoloured, imperforate (no perforations), and printed by photogravure, typical of thematic sets from Fujeira in the 1960s. They usually lack watermarks and have plain paper with wet-adhesive gum.

📦 Typical Set Composition

Collector offerings vary, but listings include:

✅ Perf and Imperf Set Variants

• Set of 8 perf stamps – listed as Space/Satellites set, MNH.
• Set of 7 imperf stamps – also listed as Space/Satellites and MNH.

The exact catalogue numbers (Michel, Yvert, Scott) vary between dealers and aren’t always standardized because many Fujeira issues of the 1960s were produced primarily for collectors and often fall into the “dune” or “collector” category.
