The Secrets of Space card series was issued in 1968 by the Sanitarium
Health Food Company in Australia and New Zealand. The 20-card collection
features illustrations of early satellites, concept vehicles, and Project
Gemini objectives. One card was included with each specially marked box of
Weet-Bix breakfast cereal.

The series includes the Grumman Lunar Exploration Space Suit Mark 1 created in
