Stick the landing
China’s Tianwen-1 spacecraft entered orbit around Mars on February 10, 2021. The spacecraft was carrying a rover on board named Zhurong, which successfully landed on Mars on May 14, 2021, making China the second country to land and operate a rover on Mars. The image printed on this Martian stamp features Zhurong’s landing zone.
UNPA has celebrated space exploration through stamp art before, issuing a Nebulae themed stamp collection in 2013, a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of human spaceflight in 2011, and another for the 50th anniversary of the start of the space age in 2007.
