The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) plays a unique role in the space industry through its long-standing tradition of issuing space-themed postage stamps. These stamps, dating back to 1948, celebrate achievements in space exploration, astronomy, and the individuals who have pioneered space-related accomplishments. The USPS partners with organizations like NASA, ESA, and CSA to showcase imagery from missions like the James Webb Space Telescope on stamps, contributing to public awareness and education about space programs.
