Below is a checklist of Interkosmos-series satellite postal items (stamps, souvenir sheets, aerogrammes, postal cards, etc.). 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.
Farther below is a list of Interkosmos-series launch covers, anniversary-of-launch covers, and launch-related event covers.
For Interkosmos launch information see the Interkosmos-series table on the Russian scientific/research and environmental-observing satellites page.
This checklist must be prefaced by a disclaimer, in that factual information about Interkosmos satellites was, and still is, very hard to obtain. Therefore, the identification of some of the satellites in the Interkosmos series may be speculative, if not incorrect. Several of the items are labeled "Interkosmos-like", when they are of questionable design. The authors would appreciate any assistance in correcting or updating the information presented about Interkosmos-series satellites.
