"For simplicity the contents of this Pocket Book are divided into the five most widely used categories -- manned, interplanetary, scientific and applications, plus launch vehicles. The section on manned spacecraft includes all types of craft ever flown because all are so familiar that even the earliest are still in the public domain. Likewise, a certain historical element exists among the interplanetary spacecraft selection by virtue of the distinctiveness of each step in Man's reaching out from his planet. Among the launch vehicles, too, are a few defunct but celebrated programmes. Soviet launchers are designated according to Charles S. Sheldon's alphabetical/numerical system plus available Russian names. New Nasa-devised designators are also quoted in some cases." --Introduction, page [8].

This unique book presents a historical and philatelic survey of Earth exploration from space. It covers all areas of research in which artificial satellites have contributed in designing a new image of our planet and its environment: the atmosphere and ionosphere, the magnetic field, radiation belts and the magnetosphere, weather, remote sensing, mapping of the surface, observation of the oceans and marine environments, geodesy, and the study of life and ecological systems. Stamping the Earth from Space presents the results obtained with the thousands of satellites launched by the two former superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, and also those of the many missions carried out by the ESA, individual European countries, Japan, China, India, and the many emerging space nations. Beautifully illustrated, it contains almost 1100 color reproductions of philatelic items. In addition to topical stamps and thematic postal documents, the book provides an extensive review of astrophilatelic items. The most important space missions are documented through event covers and cards canceled at launch sites, tracking stations, research laboratories, and mission control facilities.
