This page contains philatelic information on the Space Shuttle and un-manned satellites. 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.
This page contains only postal items on which both the Space Shuttle and at least one un-manned satellite appear together on the same item. Their appearance together must be on a single stamp or on a souvenir sheet containing only one stamp. For each item listed below, STS-related satellites are separated from those with an implied relationship to the Space Shuttle, but that are not directly related to the Space Shuttle. (When the Space Shuttle and an un-manned satellite appear on separate stamps of a souvenir sheet or strip of more than one stamp, their appearance together does not necessarily imply that the Space Shuttle and un-manned satellite are related. Therefore, those items are excluded.) A Master List of Un-manned Spacecraft is available.
Covers with two or more cancels for different parts of the same Shuttle Mission are listed only once, in chronological order based on the earliest cancel, not listed again for any additional cancels.
This page does not include any of the International Space Station (ISS) modules or construction equipment, or any of the manned-only aspects of Space Shuttle missions.
For additional examples of unknown-identity or fantasy-design spacecraft, those not deployed by the Space Shuttle, see the Unknown-identity or Fantasy-design Spacecraft page.
Unknown-identity or fantasy-design spacecraft depicted with, and supposedly launched by, the Space Shuttle are found ONLY on this page and are NOT double listed on the Unknown-identity or Fantasy-design Spacecraft page.

*These last two columns are used to separate the un-manned satellites that appear together with the Space Shuttle (on the postal item) into two groups: those that are STS-related and those that are not STS-related.
1As incorrectly noted on this item, the STS-99/Endeavour mission of 11 February 2000 had nothing to do with HST.
2The captions on Micronesia 344p and 344q are transposed: SMM repair (STS-41C), and Explorer-59/ISEE-3/ICE.
3COBE (early-design) was intended for Space Shuttle launch; COBE (final-design) was intended for rocket launch.
4A fantasy-design telescope somewhat similar to Chandra/CXO is depicted in an early-design stage, most likely due to the pre-launch date of these items, when the design was not finalized. A good example of this satellite is found on Chad 435.
5The solar panels on this satellite are not identical to those on Symphonie.
6Two Space Shuttle missions are merged on CAR 761a: Palapa-B2 (on stamp) was recovered by STS-51A/Discovery; SMM (in right margin) was repaired by STS-41C/Challenger.
7ESA's never-built Hermes space plane has an appearance somewhat like the Space Shuttle.
8A fantasy-design telescope reminiscent of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), but the spacecraft body is too short, and the solar panels are too wide and not long enough. A good example of this satellite is found on Chad None essay (198?)
9A fantasy-design spacecraft which does not represent any known spacecraft. A good example of this satellite is found on Mauritania C204.
10Payloads, as opposed to satellites, are neither deployed from, nor recovered to, the Space Shuttle cargo bay.
11A cylindrical fantasy-design spacecraft (with booster attached) which does not represent any known spacecraft. A good example of this satellite is found on CAR C208.
12A quasi-cylindrical fantasy-design spacecraft (with booster attached) which does not represent any known spacecraft. A good example of this satellite is found on Togo C327.
13A quasi-cylindrical fantasy-design spacecraft (with booster attached) which does not represent any known spacecraft. A good example of this satellite is found on Ivory Coast 587.
14The depiction of an ATN-type NOAA satellite with the Space Shuttle and its manipulator arm is not correct, since those satellites were all rocket-launched and neither deployed nor repaired by the Space Shuttle. This depiction of the satellite being held by the Canadarm is found on USA cover (1978), USA cover1 (1983), and USA cover2 (1983).
15This document discusses the Astro-1 and Astro-2 payloads. Astro-1 flew on STS-35/Columbia, and Astro-2 on STS-67/Endeavour.
Below is a list of Space Shuttle and un-manned satellite launch covers (including anniversary-of-launch covers, and launch-related event covers).

1Payloads, as opposed to satellites, are neither deployed from, nor recovered to, the Space Shuttle cargo bay.
2On these covers, the Space Shuttle mission is not specifically noted.
3There is disagreement among various sources on whether this should be called Telstar-3D or Telstar-3B! See Boeing's Telstar-3 - AT&T's Advanced New Communications Satellite.
4A fantasy-design telescope somewhat similar to Chandra / CXO is depicted in an early-design stage, most likely due to the pre-launch date of these items, when the design was not finalized. A good example of this satellite is found on Chad 435.

7The Mesoscale Lightning Experiment (MLE) was designed to obtain nighttime images of lightning in an attempt to better understand the effects of lightning discharges on each other, on nearby storm systems, on storm microbursts and wind patterns, and other interrelationships over an extremely large geographical area. The MLE employed payload bay color video cameras and a 35 mm handheld still picture camera to observe lightning discharges at night from active storms.
8A fantasy-design telescope reminiscent of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), but the spacecraft body is too short, and the solar panels are too wide and not long enough. A good example of this satellite is found on Chad None essay (198?)
9A fantasy-design spacecraft which does not represent any known spacecraft. A good example of this satellite is found on Mauritania C204.
10See https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/s/ssbuv for a list of all the Shuttle missions that included SSBUV ozone observations along with the various satellites that made coincident ozone observations. The SSBUV (Shuttle Solar Backscatter UV) experiment, which made its first flight on STS-34, was developed by NASA to check the calibration of satellite-borne ozone sounders because of calibration drift of the SBUV (Solar Backscatter UV) instrument that they carried. The SSBUV experiment took advantage of the Shuttle's orbital flight path to compare data from identical instruments aboard the satellite and the Shuttle. This could be done because of orbital coincidences in which the Shuttle and the satellite passed over the same Earth location within a 1-hour window. The SSBUV instrument and its dedicated electronics, power, data and command systems were mounted in the Shuttle's payload bay in two Get Away Special canisters (an instrument canister and a support canister) which together weighed 544 kg.

16CRISTA-SPAS-1 was deployed by STS-66 on day two of its mission. Flying at distance of about 40-70 km behind the shuttle, it collected data for eight days and then was retrieved and returned to the cargo bay. The CRISTA instrument gathered the first global information about medium- and small- scale disturbances in trace gases in the middle atmosphere which were later used in models of the atmosphere and Earth's energy balance. The complementary CRISTA-SPAS instrument, the Middle Atmosphere High Resolution Spectrograph Investigation (MAHRSI), measured the amounts of ozone-destroying hydroxyl and nitric oxide in the middle atmosphere and lower thermosphere at altitudes in the range of 40-120 km. MAHRSI yielded the first complete global maps of hydroxyl in the atmosphere. The CRISTA-SPAS-2 payload included three telescopes and four spectrometers. It was deployed on day one of the STS-85 mission to gather data about Earth's middle atmosphere. After more than 200 hours of free flight, CRISTA-SPAS-2 was retrieved by the shuttle on 16 August 1997. The three CRISTA telescopes collected 38 full atmospheric profiles of the middle atmosphere. The complementary instrument (the MAHRSI) provided observations similar to those obtained during the flight of CRISTA-SPAS-1 concerning the distribution of ozone in Earth's atmosphere. 22 sounding rockets and 40 balloons were launched from the ground to provide correlating data for CRISTA-SPAS-2. Some similar ground-based missions also took place during the flight of CRISTA-SPAS-1. Here is one example.
17After being deployed from STS-6/Challenger, TDRS-1 did not attain its planned geosynchronous orbit because of the failure of one of its two solid rocket booster motors. However, during the following three months, ground controllers were able to use the satellite's attitude control thrusters to raise it to the desired orbit. TDRS-1 had a design lifetime of 7 years, but served faithfully for 26 years before being retired in October 2009!
18Leasat-F4 (Syncom-4-4) attained its geostationary orbit but was declared lost on 9 September 1985 after only 40 hours of operational testing due to a UHF communications system failure in the satellite.
19This "Space Shuttle" and "Space Telescope" design with booster attached does not include a depiction of the Space Shuttle manipulator arm.
20No free flight was scheduled for SPAS-1A during the STS-41B mission; rather, the plan was to manipulate it with the RMS (Remote Manipulator System, or Canadarm) to gain experience in handling such an object with the RMS. It turned out that that was not possible due to an electrical problem with the RMS, so SPAS-1A remained stowed in the payload bay.
21This document discusses the MAPS (Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellites) payload, which flew on four Shuttle missions: STS-2, STS-41G, STS-59, and STS-68)
22This document discusses the IECM (Induced Environmental Contamination Monitor) payload, which flew on three Shuttle missions: STS-2, STS-3, and STS-4.
23This document discusses the NOSL (Night/Day Optical Survey of Lightning) payload, which flew on three Shuttle missions: STS-2, STS-4, and STS-6.
24This document discusses the Astro-1 and Astro-2 payloads. Astro-1 flew on STS-35, and Astro-2 on STS-67/Endeavour.
25On flight days 3, 4, and 5, the STS-3 mission tested the grappling and manipulation of the PDP (the Plasma Diagnostic Package) with the Canadarm remote manipulator system, but did not deploy it. The PDP was finally deployed, in 1985, during STS-51F/Challenger.
