Sweden 2009 Journey into Space Miniature sheet - Odd shaped Stamps with Star holes and Microprinting
Issue date 24 September 2009
The Stamps depict some of the scenes from Christer Fugelsang's Space Shuttle Discovery flight (Mission STS-116 33rd Lift off from Kennedy Space Centre) in December 2006 (lift off 9 December 2006 Landing 22 December 2006 Total 13 Days - 203 Orbits of the Earth). The miniature sheet features a daimond shaped stamp and 4 triangle shaped sramps.
Christer Fugelsang is the first Swede in Space and has carried out 3 Space Walk. One of the Stamps depicts the third spacewalk Fugelsang and his colleague Robert Curbeam help sort out a faulty 32m Solar Panel of the International Space Station which helps power its electrical system.
The edge of Fugelsang's Space suit bears a microtext "My, my at Waterloo Napolean did surrender" which was a reference to a greeting song Waterloo by ABBA sent via space control from Fugelsang's family to the crew.
