INFORMATION OM PRODUKTEN
In this expanded collector's edition ofThe Art of NASA, complete with a paper model Lunar Module and a poster, explore over 200 stunning artworks commissioned by NASA to sell its missions.
Formed in 1958, NASA has long maintained a department of visual artists to depict the concepts and technologies created in humankind's quest to explore the final frontier. Culled from a carefully chosen reserve of approximately 3,000 files deep in the NASA archives, the200+ awe-inspiring illustrations presented in this special boxed edition are complemented by:
From space suits to capsules, from landing modules to the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, and more recent concepts for space planes,The Art of NASApresents60 years of American space explorationin an unprecedented fashion. All the landmark early missions are represented in detail-Gemini, Mercury, Apollo-as are post-Space Race accomplishments, like themission to Marsand other deep-space explorations.
The insightful text relates thewonderful stories associated with the art. For instance, the incredibly rare early Apollo illustrations show how Apollomighthave looked if the landing module had never been developed. Black-and-white Gemini drawings illustrate how the massive NASA art department did its stuff with ink pen and rubdown Letraset textures. Cross-sections of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project docking adapter reveal Russian sensitivity about US "male" probes "penetrating" their spacecraft, thus the androgynous "adapter" now used universally in space. International Space Station cutaways show howhugethe original plan was, but also what was retained.
Every picture inThe Art of NASAtells a special story. This collection of the rarest of the rare is not onlya unique view of NASA history-it's a fascinating look at the art of illustration anda glimpse of NASA history like no other.
