John Harris TITLE: "Aftermath: T + 60 seconds," oil

When the shuttle Discovery launched, it was over so quickly. The only sign of its flight was the great pall of smoke shrouding the launch site.

Docking
Paul Hudson TITLE: "In the Beginning Nothing Became Everything," acrylic

In his painting, the artist depicts the birth of the universe, the Big Bang. Energy and extremely hot matter was hurled outward in all directions. As the universe expanded, gravity caused the first stars and galaxies to form. Billions of years later a middle-size star was formed. That star is our sun, born with a family of nine planets. One of those planets is the Earth. NASA's space science program is one the verge of a new era: Great Observatories in Space. Large and very powerful orbiting observatories like the Hubble Space Telescope depicted by Artist Paul Hudson above the Earth will expand our knowledge of observable space almost to the edge of the universe and the beginning of time. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 24.5" x 93"

Wilson Hurley TITLE: "Development Motor-8 (DM-8) Test Firing," oil

The artist was on location to document the first in a planned series of full-duration test firings of the redesigned Space Shuttle solid rocket motor (SRM) which occurred on August 30, 1987 at Morton Thiokol's Wasatch Operations Facility near Brigham City, Utah. The 126 foot long, 1.2 million pound DM-8 underwent a horizontal test firing of two minutes. The test was designed to evaluate the performance of major features of the SRM redesign, including the capture feature field joint, bonded field joint insulation, joint heaters and radially bolted case to nozzle joint design.

Wilson Hurley TITLE: "Viking/Mars Encounter," oil

This painting depicts the Viking spacecraft the instant after separation of the lander from the orbiter. The orbiter faces the sun, the high gain antenna faces toward the viewer in the direction of Earth, and the craft is rotated to point its side a Canopus, which lay behind Mars at the time of separation. If you stand ten feet from the canvas, you will see Viking as it appeared at separation from 300 meters, and Mars as it appeared from Viking at 18,400 kilometers.
