Below is a checklist of Russian propaganda-design satellite postal items (stamps, souvenir sheets, aerogrammes, postal cards, etc.). Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes on the satellites are given when available. All of these items show a widely-used propaganda satellite design, intended at the time of use as a substitute for actual satellite designs. The Russian propaganda-design satellite is a common spacecraft image on early space-age postal items. The design may have been a compromise between stamp and cachet designers need to represent the new spacecraft and the Soviet censors need to keep secret many aspects of the Soviet space program.
Farther below is a list of launch covers, anniversary-of-launch covers, and launch-related event covers which include the propaganda-design satellite.
Even farther below is a compilation/summary of the various cachets which include the propaganda-design satellite. If viewers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
The most-widely-used propaganda design has an overall shape similar to Sputnik-3, but with a more cylindrical body, and a more rounded nose than the conical-shaped Sputnik-3. At the base of the cylindrical body or "thimble" is a larger-diameter ring or "collar". In addition to the body style, most images of the propaganda design have two or more other distinguishing features:

*Scott catalog number, unless prefixed with Mi or BL for Michel; "i" prefix denotes imperforate version.
**FDC = first day cover; SS# = souvenir sheet, MS# = miniature sheet, where # = number of stamps in sheet, and the numbers in parentheses are the catalog numbers of the stamps in the sheet.
1Propaganda design variant is similar to the most-widely-used propaganda design, plus has paper-clip-like antennas on top, as well as on bottom.
2Other propaganda designs have a body style similar to the most-widely-used propaganda design, a general "thimble and collar" design, but missing most of the other distinguishing featues common to the most-widely-used propaganda design.
3The satellite on this item is often mis-interpreted as being Kosmos-3, since the stamp was issued on the launch date for Kosmos-3, 1962-04-24.
Below is a list of launch covers, anniversary-of-launch covers, and launch-related event covers which include the most-widely-used propaganda-design satellite.
