Accomplishments In Space Issue

On September 29, 1967, the U.S. Post Office issued its first attached pair of stamps to have a continuous design.

The stamps, officially titled Accomplishments in Space, were issued to honor the 9th anniversary of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The stamps were the first to be designed by renowned space artist Paul Calle.

These stamps are also often known as the “Space Twins,” as they’re the first twin stamps ever issued by the U.S., with one design continuing across both stamps. The stamps picture a space-suited astronaut floating near the Gemini 4 Capsule.
