Welcome to Comoros Stamps

Apollo-Soyuz Test Project - 200 CF

This stamp commemorates the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, the historic joint space mission conducted by the United States and the Soviet Union in July 1975. During the mission, an American Apollo spacecraft and a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft successfully docked in orbit, allowing astronauts and cosmonauts from the two nations to meet and work together in space. The event marked the first international human spaceflight mission and became a powerful symbol of cooperation during a period otherwise characterized by Cold War rivalry. By issuing this stamp, the Comoros recognized one of the most significant achievements in the history of space exploration and international collaboration. The issue celebrates the spirit of scientific cooperation, peaceful relations between nations, and the shared pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth. The Apollo-Soyuz mission demonstrated how space exploration could serve as a bridge between countries and remains an enduring milestone in the development of international space partnerships.
