ARTWORK
Donald E. Paglia, M.D. TITLE: "Camelot - STS-9 Series No. 5," oil over acrylic polymer undercoating on canvas

The perspective of the railroad tracks leads the viewer Pad 39A, where Columbia in preparation for its ninth trip into space will carry Spacelab in its cargo bay and a six man crew STS-9, Kennedy Space Center, Nov. 27, 1983. Art size: 54" x 38"

Camelot - STS-9 Series No. 5
Henk Pander TITLE: "Preparing Galileo"

One of a series of paintings done on location at Jet Propulsion Laboratory of Project Galileo..The spacecraft is prepared by technicians at the Space Simulator Facility at Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the Solar Thermal Vacuum Test. Art size: 30" x 51 1/2"

Preparing Galileo
Henk Pander TITLE: "Solar Thermal Vacuum Chamber"

The exterior of the Solar Thermal Vacuum Test .Chamber at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Through the small window one can see a part of Galileo. In the left foreground a small- scale model of Galileo sits at a table..The Galileo mission will provide the first direct sampling of the atmosphere of Jupiter and the first extended observations of the planet, its satellites and the intense magnetospheric environment. The launch is scheduled for Oct. 1989: the orbiter's closest approach ti Jupiter will be in December, 1995.Taking advantage of its trajectory to Jupiter, Galileo will fly close by two asteroids, Gaspra and Ida, and observe the atmosphere composition of Venus and perform a variety of earth science observations. In July 1995, the probe will separate from the orbiter and travel unattended toward its descent into Jupiter while the orbiter goes into permanent Jupiter orbit. Art size: 40" x 60"

Pilot William Dana in his hypersonic flight of the x-15 achieved mach 5.38 (3,716 mph) at an altitude of 255,000 ft. Flying to the edge of space, the x-15 helped advance development of both aeronautical and space flight systems.
