Issued by Afghanistan in 1963 to commemorate World Meteorological Day, this striking stamp reflects the early space-age optimism of the era. The design features sounding rockets and orbital imagery symbolizing advances in atmospheric research and global weather science. It also acknowledges international cooperation under the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Printed in vivid magenta and orange tones, the stamp is a fine thematic choice for space, science, meteorology, and UN-related collections. A classic Cold War–era issue appreciated for both design and historical context.
