Astrophilately
Definition of astrophilately
Astrophilately is the study of space flights and space-related events with philatelic material.

Guidelines for Astrophilately
You will find here the "Guidelines for Astrophilately" as laid down during the 144th F.I.P. Congress in 2022 in Lugano.
We translated the text into Dutch and French, but as stipulated in the F.I.P. regulations, the English text always takes precedence over the translations.
Promoting Astrophilately
The French "Maison Lollini" at Nice in the Southern France (Provence) has produced a very nice short movie on collecting astrophilately.
