Kosmos-3

Kosmos-series
satellites


Below is a checklist of Kosmos-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 Kosmos-series launch covers, anniversary-of-launch covers, and launch-related event covers.

For Kosmos launch information see the Kosmos-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 Kosmos satellites was, and still is, very hard to obtain. Therefore, the identification of some of the satellites in the Kosmos series may be speculative, if not incorrect. Several of the items are labeled "Kosmos-like", when they are of questionable design. The authors would appreciate any assistance in correcting or updating the information presented about Kosmos-series satellites.

**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.

1Kosmos-318/381 (Ionosfernaya-1/2) are similar to Nadezhda, but lack the omni-directional antenna for COSPAS/SARSAT.
2OAO-1, not Kosmos-894 as indicated on this item.
3Propaganda, not Kosmos as indicated on these items.
4The 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.
