This page contains (selected) covers with Zaso silk / IASP numbered cachets produced by John Zaso and the International Association of Space Philatelists (IASP) to mark satellite launches and other space-related events. Those covers include this Official IASP series numbered logo and one or both of the IASP / Zaso logo combination on the front.
Many 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.
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.
