Silk Cover Set Commemorates Launch of Climate Observatory
This set of two Colorano Silk Covers marks the launch of the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) on February 11, 2015. The Star-Spangled Banner stamp is tied to the covers by a Cape Canaveral postmark.
DSCOVR was a made through a partnership of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA), NASA, and the US Air Froce. It was launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket made by private space firm SpaceX. Its mission was to observe dangerous emissions from the sun and provide an early warning system. Though the mission was originally planned for five years, it was later extended.
