Description from the seller
A distinctive and complete space-philatelic collectible around the historic Trans-Millennium Rocket Flight during the turn of the millennium 1999–2000.
The lot contains a complete German sheet of stamps with ten holographic charity stamps that were carried aboard a documented suborbital spaceflight on a Russian RS-40M rocket.
The rocket was launched on 31 December 1999 from the Murena submarine in the Barents Sea, reached a height of about 1,200 km, and landed on 1 January 2000 in Kamchatka. According to official documentation, only 3,000 complete sheets were carried on this special flight.
