The Art of NASA: The Illustrations That Sold the Missions
Description :
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, the 200 artworks presented in this
largeformat edition provide a glimpse of NASA history like no
other. *A 2021 Locus Award Winner* 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 NASA presents 60 years of American
space exploration in an unprecedented fashion. All the
landmark early missions are represented in detail Gemini,
Mercury, Apollo as are postSpace Race accomplishments, like
the mission to Mars and other deepspace explorations. The
insightful text relates the wonderful stories associated with the
art . For instance, the incredibly rare early Apollo illustrations
show how Apollo might have looked if the landing module had
never been developed. Blackandwhite Gemini drawings
illustrate how the massive NASA art department did its stuff
with ink pen and rubdown Letraset textures. Crosssections 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 how huge the original plan was, but also what was
retained. Every picture in The Art of NASA tells a special story.
This collection of the rarest of the rare is not only a unique
view of NASA history it’s a fascinating look at the art of
illustration, the development of nowfamiliar technologies, and a
glimpse of what the space program might have looked like. em
