1"Quasi-PUOS" items have a peaceful uses of space theme but are not strictly PUOS.
2The "imperforate" sheets from Nigeria, i143a and i144a, are imperforate only in the surrounding margins, otherwise the stamps in both sheets are perforated on all sides.


Below is a list of Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (PUOS) on launch covers (including anniversary-of-launch covers).
