On 24 April 2022, the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) will issued six stamps and three souvenir sheets to celebrate human achievements on Planet Mars.
As an inseparable cosmic companion of Earth, Mars has often been a source of curiosity for humans and scientists of all nations. The space community has long strived to uncover its mysteries and has made some exceptional steps forward in 2021. In a historic year for Mars exploration, three missions reached their destinations on and around the Red Planet. This stamp series celebrates those pioneering achievements.
As humankind races toward Mars, it is important that countries work together to promote international cooperation and peaceful use and exploration of space, and in the utilization of space science and technology for sustainable economic and social development. Since 1958, the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) works to promote these objectives.
