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 detailGemini, Mercury, Apolloas 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 ApolloSoyuz 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 historyit?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.
