NAME
TITLE and DESCRIPTION
ARTWORK
Bryn Barnard TITLE: "Cartographer's Contemplation," oil

This painting juxtaposes 17th century map-making with the cartographic science of NASA's Space Remote Sensing data analysis at the Science and Technology Laboratory, Stennis Space Center

Cartographer's Contemplation
Bryn Barnard TITLE: "In the Iron Cavern," oil

The artist, while visiting Kennedy Space Center to cover the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-34), painted the workers preparing Space Shuttle Discovery for STS-33 in the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center. Atlantis lifted off on October 18, 1989 and successfully deployed the Galileo spacecraft into low-Earth orbit. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 18" x 34-3/4"

In the Iron Cavern
Bryn Barnard TITLE: "Deployment," acrylic painting

The Hubble Space Telescope looms dramatically in the foreground of this painting as it is deployed from the cargo bay area of the Space Shuttle orbiter by the Remote Manipulator System (RMS). An astronaut hovers above the orbiter during deployment. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 38" x 65"

Deployment
Bryn Barnard TITLE: "Ignition," oil

NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, MS., flight certifies all of the main engines which power the Space Shuttle into low-Earth orbit is operational. Shown here on the B-2 Test Stand is a static firing of the powerful main engine. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 30" x 48"

Ignition
Brad Bennett TITLE: "Cape Cactus Awaiting Discovery and the Hubble," watercolor painting

The artist is portraying the incongruity of the waiting orbiter juxtaposed with the flowering cactus in the foreground. He sees man concentrating on the prospect of finding the edge of the universe while in the midst of the surrounding beauty of our own planet. The launch of STS-31 occurred from April 24-29, 1990. Discovery successfully deployed the Hubble Space Telescope, and modern astronomy now stands at the threshold of an exciting new era. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 30-3/4" x 23"

Cape Cactus Awaiting Discovery and the Hubble
Brad Bennett TITLE: "Astronaut Training for STS-34," watercolor

The artist on assignment to cover astronaut training at Johnson Space Center, positioning himself inside the orbiter trainer as the crew practiced their emergency egress procedures. Astronaut Ellen S. Baker is pictured in her Space Shuttle seat wearing a new parachute. This safety device was worn for the first time by Ellen and her fellow crew members during the STS-34 mission on October 18, 1989. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 22-1/2" x 29"

Astronaut Training for STS-34
Martin Berkon TITLE: "Jupiter Fly-by," oil

An interpretation of the storms of Jupiter with satellite Io and the Great Red Spot as pictured by Voyager 2 at a distance of 3.7 million miles. (NASA Art Program).Art size: 60" x 60"

Jupiter Fly-by
Martin Berkon TITLE: "Reflections on the First Untethered Spacewalk," oil on canvas

An abstract interpretation of Mission 41-B, in which astronaut Bruce McCandless made his history-making untethered extravehicular activity on February 7, 1984. The artist created a series of transparent planes, expressing a rising surge of cosmic energy and spatial depth. Challenger's tenth mission, February 3 to 11, 1984, Kennedy Space Center, Florida. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 60" x 60"

Reflections on the First Untethered Spacewalk
Neil Boyle TITLE: "Flight of the Challenger," oil

Challenger and its crew were launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1:30 P.M. EST on April 4, 1983. A group of camera people, reporters and onlookers observe the skyward climb of the shuttle orbiter as it leaves Pad 39A STS-6. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 48" x 24"

Flight of the Challenger
Neil Boyle TITLE: "HST Deployment," oil

Depicts in an impressionistic style, the Hubble Space Telescope being deployed from the cargo bay area of the Space Shuttle orbiter by the Remote Manipulator System (RMS). (NASA Art Program) Art size: 36" x 48"

HST Deployment
Neil Boyle TITLE: "Night Lights," oil

Shows the Space Shuttle Challenger brightly illuminated on Pad 39 the night before its first flight into orbit. STS-6 Kennedy Space Center, April 4, 1983. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 30" x 40"

Night Lights
Neil Boyle TITLE: "Silhouettes," oil

STS-6 at Kennedy Space Center, April 4, 1983. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 13-1/2" x 20-1/4"

Silhouettes
Neil Boyle TITLE: "Space Telescope," watercolor

Depicts the Hubble Space Telescope with the solar arrays deployed. The Space Shuttle orbiter flies directly below it with the cargo bay doors open and the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) still extended. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 30" x 22"

Space Telescope
Leslie Bossinas TITLE: "Hypersonic Plane," acrylic

Artist concept of an aerospace plane vehicle showing aero-thermal heating effects caused by friction as the vehicle flies hypersonically through the atmosphere. The National Aero-Space Plane program provides the technology for space launch vehicles and hypersonic cruise vehicles. This vehicle with advanced air breathing engines would have the capability to take off horizontally from and land on conventional runways, accelerate to orbit, and cruise hypersonically in the atmosphere between earth destinations. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 21" x 25"

Hypersonic Plane
Patrice Breteau TITLE: "Space Journey," acrylic

In artistic terms, the Space Shuttle image is transported into a distant cosmic spacescape to express the feeling of future space travel. Mission 61-C, Kennedy Space Center, December 23, 1985. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 60" x 40"

Space Journey
Patrice Breteau TITLE: "Doorway to Space," acrylic

Surrealistic view of the ever expanding vistas of space. An imaginative "landscape" of other worlds and planets. Painting donated to NASA by artist. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 36" x 36"

Doorway to Space
Don Brown TITLE: "Skylab 2," watercolor

(NASA Art Program) Art size: 18-3/4" x 28-1/2"

Skylab 2
J. Robert Burnell TITLE: "One Flight Out, One Flight In," acrylic

The artist said, "I was impressed with the efforts the NASA people have made in regard to saving as much of the environment as possible. A protected eagle family is a good example. Shuttle up, eagle in." STS-6, April 4, 1983, Kennedy Space Center. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 36" x 48"
