THE STAMPS<br />
4<br />
Astronaut<br />
26 x 37.5 mm/26.38 x 37.55 mm<br />
Shows an astronaut<br />
experiencing a freefall<br />
entry to Mars using a<br />
personal thruster to<br />
control her descent from<br />
the orbiting cruise ship.<br />
Spacecraft<br />
50 x 30 mm/50 x 30.55 mm<br />
Shows skimmers leaving the cruiser ship, some<br />
skimmers carry visitors, others carry cargo.<br />
Flight crew<br />
30 x 25 mm/30.55 x 25 mm<br />
Shows crew in a skimmer<br />
following two cargo<br />
skimmers. The cargo skimmers are guided by<br />
remote control and homing-beams.<br />
Launch site<br />
30 x 50 mm/30.55 x 50 mm<br />
Shows a shuttle rocket<br />
taking off from the<br />
surface. It carries<br />
skimmers back to the<br />
cruise ship. In the<br />
foreground are a<br />
surveyor and his<br />
robotic assistant<br />
marking locations for<br />
new kelp rods.<br />
Robots<br />
25 x 30 mm/25 x 30.55 mm<br />
Shows two robotic workers<br />
cleaning a kelp rod. These<br />
rods are clear, to transmit<br />
the sun’s radiant energy, and<br />
flexible, so they are able to<br />
withstand the high winds<br />
common on the Martian<br />
surface. Inside the rods,<br />
sunlight, water, kelp and<br />
other algae react to produce<br />
oxygen, used to enrich the<br />
Martian atmosphere.<br />
Terrain<br />
26 x 37.5 mm/26.38 x 37.5 mm<br />
Shows a view of the<br />
settlement landscape,<br />
dominated by the domed<br />
cities separated by water<br />
reservoirs. These reservoirs<br />
are artificial. Water is piped<br />
into them from under the<br />
surface of the north pole.
