This page contains (un-manned satellite and other selected) covers with Robert B. "Bob" Whitney cachets, mostly on un-manned satellite (or scientific rocket) launch, anniversary, or event covers. Whitney covers, which do not include a logo, almost always have a cancel from Cape Canaveral, Patrick AFB, or Satellite Beach FL.
The covers found in this page are primarily for un-manned satellite (or scientific rocket or balloon) launches or events. Covers for manned and other missions are included if they contain an element of interest to the authors.
Most of the postal items listed below are also found in other pages of the Un-manned Satellite Philately website. However, below are also a few items not found elsewhere in the website because they are not of direct interest to the authors. They are nevertheless included here to make this list of named covers more complete. Such items are highlighted in blue.
Whitney covers may appear at first glance to have rubber-stamp cachets, particularly those with weak cachet impressions. The authors have concluded that that is likely a misinterpretation, due to the uniformity of placement and orientation of the cachets in the covers produced together for any given mission.
The table below contains only about one third of the covers produced by Whitney that are available. A list of all known un-manned satellite launch, anniversary, or event covers with cachets by Whitney can be downloaded here. Whitney also produced cachets for a large number of missile and manned missions, but they are not included either in this web page or in the downloadable Excel file. In addition, Whitney produced a few covers related to the topics of scientific research rockets and space weather. Those items are listed in the downloadable Excel file, and any of them for which we have images are also included in this web page.
Readers who know of additional information or images are invited to contact the authors using the e-mail addresses found at the link at the bottom of this page.
Below is a list of Whitney cachets on launch covers (including anniversary-of-launch covers, and launch-related event covers).
