Spain 2019 50th Anniversary Moon Landing


Taken from the Net as Scanned copy not clear





Issue date 13 June 2019

To commemorate Spanish contribution to the Moon Landing 50 years ago, Correos Post has issued a special miniature sheet with cold foil printing giving the sheet a metallic effect combined with Augmented Reality printing technology. The Augmented Reality can be viewed through the App 
‘Sellos RA Correos’ which can be downloaded on the mobile

At the height of the first moon landing, it was the Fresnedillas station ( Madrid Apollo , in the technical jargon of NASA), and its men who had the responsibility and honor to directly help the descent of the Eagle and its crew Armstrong and Aldrin. Armstrong's words: "The Eagle has landed." Were first heard in Fresnedillas before being heard in Houston. 

Spain was a major contributor through the Spanish National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA), which provided monitoring and control stations in Fresnedillas and Robledo (Madrid), and Maspalomas (Gran Canaria). Spanish technicians, with the Americans, constantly monitored the vital signs of the astronauts, and processed the avalanche of data that were being received from the Moon, while transmitting numerous instructions to correct their course and specify the place and time of the Moon landing. Not without merit, this irreplaceable support was called “The vital link”.

Scanned Image


Image from the net


Issue Date 31 May 2019

In the year 1929, 90 years ago, the General Council of Andorra ceded the exploitation of the hydroelectric use of the rivers and lakes of Andorra to the private company Fhasa (Fuerzas Hidroeléctricas de Andorra, SA), with the condition that the company commits itself to the improvement and construction of road infrastructures.


In total, 41 kilometers of roads, three tunnels and eleven bridges were built, in addition to all the infrastructure necessary for the operation of the hydroelectric plant. Fhasa was rescued and nationalized in 1988 by the General Council of Andorra and was reconverted into the current FEDA (Electric Forces of Andorra).

Spanish Andorra Post has issued a special lenticular miniature sheet to commemorate the company that supplies the electricity since 1929. The lenticular sheet helps to illuminate and extinguish the lights of Andorra (one page has the daylight scene of the Andorra Valley while the other shows the lit up night scene of the valley from the same spot.)
