Mercury Project and Messenger Mission stamps: With this pane of 20 stamps the U.S. Postal Service celebrates American Firsts in Space. The 50th anniversary of America’s first manned spaceflight and an unmanned spacecraft charting planet Mercury are commemorated on two designs of First-Class Forever stamps. The first stamp has Alan Shepard along with the rocket and space capsule he piloted to become America’s first man in space. A second stamp celebrates the MESSENGER Mission spacecraft that was a NASA robotic space probe that orbited the planet Mercury between 2011 and 2015, studying Mercury's chemical composition, geology, and magnetic field. MESSENGER entered orbit around Mercury on March 18, 2011, becoming the first spacecraft to do so. It successfully completed its primary mission in 2012. Following two mission extensions, the spacecraft used the last of its maneuvering propellant to deorbit, impacting the surface of Mercury on April 30, 2015.
