Issued by Dominica to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), this striking stamp depicts the launch of the TIROS (Television Infrared Observation Satellite), the world’s first successful weather satellite. The dramatic rocket launch against a star-filled space background symbolizes the dawn of satellite meteorology and modern weather forecasting. A bold red silhouette portrait and clean modern typography reflect the space-age design style of the late 1960s–early 1970s. This issue is highly sought after by collectors of space exploration, meteorology, science, and thematic stamps.
