This page contains philatelic information on the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO) satellite. Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes on the satellites featured are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
The Herschel Space Observatory (HSO) is also known as simply Herschel, and was previously known as Far Infrared and Sub-millimetre Telescope (FIRST) before being renamed.
HSO was launched along with the Planck satellite.
