Tom Newsom TITLE: "To Extend Our Vision," oil In this hypothetical future scene, a camera-carrying astronaut in a Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) is on a maintenance visit to the Hubble Space Telescope. The artist sees a contrast between these two visual tools - a handheld camera and the Hubble Space Telescope. The commonplace compared to the unique, the close-in vision of a camera versus the vision of a device built to see the frontiers of the most distant universe. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 20" x 24"
Tom Newsom TITLE: "Trio," watercolor The external tank framed by two solid rocket boosters are poised on the launch pad, ready to carry the Challenger into space for its first night launch on August 30, 1983, Kennedy Space Center. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 12-1/2" x 13-1/2"
Tom Newsom TITLE: "Shuttle Night Power," acrylic The artist moves in close to the engines - to get right into the glaring light of the boosters' exhaust in order to show the pure power built into the Space Shuttle. Challenger was launched at 2:32 a.m. August 30, 1983 from Kennedy Space Center successfully demonstrating its first night flight. STS-8 (NASA Art Program) Art size: 40" x 26"
Tom Newsom TITLE: "VAB Structures," watercolor Interior of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). A section of the Shuttles' solid rocket booster is stored waiting for use in a future mission. Kennedy Space Center, August 29, 1983, STS-8. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 10-1/4" x 11"
P. A. Nisbet TITLE: "Go for the Stars," oil The STS-31 mission carrying the Hubble Space Telescope was launched on April 24, 1990 from Kennedy Space Center. The painting dramatically depicts the orbiter's plume going skyward with warm light from the rocket engines illuminating its upper surfaces. In contract, the opposite ends of the plume are covered with a cool earthshine color. The painting is metaphorical in nature, in as much as all living creatures strive toward the light. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 36" x 48"
P. A. Nisbet TITLE: "Dry Lake Landing - STS-31," oil The artist's view of the landing of Discovery on a hot summer day at Edwards Air Force Base in California, uses mirage effects to enhance the overall concept. The combination of heat, light, dust, and Shuttle captures the desert landscape. The Hubble Space Telescope mission (STS-31) took place from the 24th to the 29th of April, 1990. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 14" x 31"
P. A. Nisbet TITLE: "Go for the Stars (Study)," field study in oil This sketch was done from the Press Site at Kennedy Space Center during the STS-31 mission which carried the Hubble Space Telescope. The final painting in oil is 36" x 48" and is in the NASA art collection. Discovery was launched on April 24th and landed on April 29th, 1990. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 5-7/8" x 8-1/2"
P. A. Nisbet TITLE: "Dry Lake Landing (Study)," field studies in oil Preparatory sketches of Discovery landing on the dry lake bed at Edwards Air Force Base was done by this artist who was a member of the NASA Art Team. The final painting in oil is 14" x 31" and is in the NASA art collection. This STS-31 mission (April 24th - 29th, 1990) carried the Hubble Space Telescope. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 11-3/8" x 15-3/8"
Andreas Nottebohm TITLE: "First Night Launch - STS-8," acrylic On its third trip into space the Challenger lifts off in a dramatic contrast of brilliant light and shadows. First night launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger, 2:32 a.m. August 30, 1983, Kennedy Space Center. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 43" x 39"
Andreas Nottebohm TITLE: "Neptune and the Fire of Knowledge," acrylic The artist draws the viewer into an array of floating images of ethereal forms and luminosity, exploring space and worlds beyond. Voyager 2's final planetary encounter took place on August 25, 1989, when the spacecraft sailed within 3000 miles of the cloud tops of Neptune's north pole. Five hours later, Voyager 2 swept past Triton, a cold, bright moon where volcanoes may spew ice particles into the thin nitrogen atmosphere. The spacecraft discovered six new moons and a number of rings at Neptune. Now Voyager 2 is also heading out of the solar system, diving below the ecliptic plane. Voyager 2 became the first spacecraft from Earth to visit Neptune, passing about 4900 kilometers (3000 miles) above Neptune's north pole. (NASA Art Program) Art size: 48" x 80"
Andreas Nottebohm TITLE: "Fantasy of Light" In this scene. In a dramatic contrast to the black sky, the artist captures the brilliant array of light patterns generated by the nighttime engine tests activities. This visual fantasy of dancing lights, together with the tremendous sound do the engines, creates a surreal landscape. The John C. Stennis Space Center, located on Mississippi's Gulf Coast, is NASA's prime test facility for large liquid propellant rocket engines and propulsion systems. Art size: 16" x 42"
Andreas Nottebohm TITLE: "Virtual Reality" This three-dimensional piece of art was the creative result of the artist's experience at Ames Research Center. With the help of Ames technicians, he conducted a test of a "Virtual Reality" headset and was able to see a computer generated three-dimensional scene or a real environment remotely relayed by video cameras. The headset's stereo imagery suggested he was actually part of the scene. Such technology could provide telepresence/telerobotics capabilities for exploration of other worlds as well as of our own. Art size: 36" x 44" x 16"
Andreas Nottebohm TITLE: "Columbia Launch Fantasy," mixed media painting This painting is second in a series of the artists interpretation of the first launch of the Columbia, April 12,1981, Kennedy Space Center. Art size: 34.5" x 30"
Andreas Nottebohm TITLE: "Soyuz Launch" This painting depicts the launch of a Russian Soyuz Rocket, similar to the one that launched American astronaut Norman Thagard to the Mir Space Station on March 14, 1995. Nottebohm along with other artists traveled to the Commonwealth of Independent States from September 27- October 5, 1991 to witness the Russian Space program first hand. Art size: 60" x 34.5"
