Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, the “giant leap” for humankind, and pay tribute to the Canadians who contributed to this historic mission to the moon, with this limited edition framed pane of six Permanent™ domestic stamps.

This ready-to-hang framed collectible features a pane of three joined-and-inverted (tête-bêche) pairs of Permanent™ domestic stamps, each featuring a realistic illustration of part of the Apollo 11 spacecraft. The upper stamp of each pair, with Earth at the top, depicts the command and service module. The lower stamp shows the lunar module descending toward the moon. On the pane’s uppermost and lower most stamps, the Earth and moon intersect with the background image.

Helping make the historic moment possible were many Canadians who worked on the Apollo program. NASA engineers James Chamberlin and Owen Maynard played key planning and design roles for Apollo 11. Employees at Héroux Machine Parts Limited (now Héroux-Devtek) in Longueuil, Quebec, manufactured the landing gear legs for the lunar module.
