About these stamps: In 1992, the United States and Russia jointly collaborated and issued stamps to feature the most important achievements of the space program. Identical in design, the US stamps were issued at 29c and the Russian stamps were 25 rubles. The stamps were designed by Robert McCall of Arizona and Vladimir Beilin of Russia. This pair of United States stamps show two scenes. The stamp on the left features a cosmonaut and the US space shuttle. The right stamp portrays a US astronaut with the Russian space station.
