1994: World Cup and Swedish Technology on the Moon
The Swedish Soccer team was about to travel to the USA for the World Cup in 1994 when this FDC was issued. There were 24 teams competing back then unlike next year when the number is doubled. Yikes. 

It was also 25 years since the first moon landing. Neil Armstrong's unforgettable pictures of the moon were made using a Swedish Hasselblad Data Camera.
2009: Space Travel
The first Swedish citizen in space was the physicist Christer Fuglesang journeying on the space shuttle in December 2006 to the space station. 
The stamps were issued in booklet form
1969: Events (Design - Hans Emri)

The constellation of Pegasus. Find the four stars forming the lopsided square in sky and the rest of the stars will form the winged horse. The stamp commemorates the opening in 1969 of Switzerland's first planetarium which is located in Lucerne.

The large hexagon containing the other stamps is amazing, and Pegasus is always a favorite

Nice way to do S for Stars! It was unexpected to see sports stars and space stars on the same envelope.
