Stan Stokes TITLE: "M2-F3 lifting body" Experimental craft that was flown by NASA Ames- Dryden Research Facility as a forerunner of the Space Shuttle. The wingless M2- F3 was air launched from a B-52 Flying at 45,000 ft. It used a rocket engine to climb to higher altitude and speed and then maneuver to a glide, landing on the dry lake bed at Edwards , CA. The purpose of the test were to develop ways for Spacecraft to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and land like an airplane rather than a parachute to a landing. Art size: 36" x 48"
Stan Stokes TITLE: "Landing at the HL-20" The HL-20, NASA Langley Research Center's candidate personnel launch system, lands on a conventional 10,000 foot runway following a trip to Space Station Freedom. The lifting body concept has the ability to land several times each day at the Kennedy Space Center, the expected launch site, or land at one of five landing sites around the world from any Space Station Freedom orbit. The HL-20 would be launched into a low Earth orbit by an expandable rocket and then use its own propulsion system to boost itself space station freedom where HL-20 would deliver small of cargo or allow for the exchange of crews. Art size: 36" x 48"
Stan Stokes TITLE: "HL-20 at Space Station" This artist Concept shows a NASA Langley Research Center HL-20 lifting body docked at Space Station Freedom. The HL-20, approximately 29 feet long, is a vehicle being considered by NASA as a personnel launch system (PLS) which could transport up to 10 astronauts and small amounts of cargo to and from low- Earth orbit, i.e. a small space taxi system. The system would assure rapid human access too space and is being designed to minimize maintenance costs. Langley's PLS would capable of conventional runway landing. Art size: 36" x 48"
Stan Stokes TITLE: "Shock Wave" This artist concept shows a NASA Langley Research Center Hl-20 lifting body reentering the Earth's atmosphere following a trip to Space Station Freedom. As the Hl-20 reenters the Earths atmosphere, a shock wave is formed. Art size: 36" x 48"
Stan Stokes TITLE: "HL-20 in the Hangar" This artist concept shows the HL-20, NASA Langley research Research Candidates personnel launch system, being serviced in a conventional hangar. The HL-20, one of several designs being considered by NASA as a complement to the Space Shuttle , may be used one day to transport up to ten Astronauts and small cargo to and from low-Earth orbit. The small space vehicle would be launched by an expendable rocket and then use its own propulsion system to rendezvous with Space Station Freedom. Following exchange of crews or delivery of small cargo, the HL-20 would return to Earth like the shuttle, making a runway landing near the launch site. Art size: 36" x 48"
Stan Stokes TITLE: "HL-20 Launch Configuration" The HL-20, NASA Langley Research center's candidate personnel launch system, rolls out onto the launch pad atop a transport crawler. The HL-20, one of the several designs being considered by NASA as a complement to the Space Shuttle, would be launched into a low-Earth orbit by an expendable rocket and then use its own propulsion system to rendezvous with Space Station Freedom. Following exchange of crews or delivery of small cargo, the HL-20 would return to Earth like the Space Shuttle, making a runway landing near the launch site. Art size: 36" x 48"
David Stone TITLE: "A Handful of Emeralds" The stars have excited mankind's imagination through all of time. The Astronaut John Young described them as, "A Handful of Emeralds thrown across the sky. " Explorers have commonly experienced isolation in uncharted seas, mountains and deserts. But being cast adrift in the fascinating void of space must lend a new meaning to the sensation of aloneness. Challenger and its crew of five were launched from Kennedy Space Center at 8:58 a.m. EST on April 6, 1984. It was Challenger's most challenger and dramatic yet to retrieve, repair, and relaunch the disabled Solar Maximum Mission satellite. Art size: 48" x 48"
Tracy Sugarman TITLE: "Rollout of Columbia," watercolor Tracy Sugarman painted this watercolor of the Space Shuttle "Columbia", as it leaves the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, December 29, 1980. Art size: 30" x 36-1/2"
Tracy Sugarman TITLE: "Rollout From VAB," watercolor Tracy Sugarman painted this watercolor of the Space Shuttle "Columbia" as it passes through the doors of VAB. Kennedy Space Center, December 29, 1980. Art size: 30x36-1/4"
Tracy Sugarman TITLE: "VAB Interior," watercolor Tracy Sugarman painted this watercolor of the vehicle Assembly Building after the "Columbia" rollout at Kennedy Space Center, December 29, 1980. Art size: 36-1/4" x 28-1/4"
Tracy Sugarman TITLE: "Early Morning Rollout" Tracy Sugarman captured the moment and atmosphere of the Space Shuttle "Columbia" rollout at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, December 29,1980. Art size: 28-1/4" x 36-1/4"
Tracy Sugarman TITLE: "Columbia Rollout From VAB" Tracy Sugarman painted this painting of spectators viewing the Space Shuttle "Columbia" as it emerges from the vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, December 29, 1980. Art size: 25-1/2" x 35-1/2"
Kent Sullivan TITLE: "Perimeter Road" Looking down the perimeter road at Kennedy Space Center, two questions come into mid: "Where are we going?" and " What's around the next bend?" Looking down a road seems symbolic of an adventure, not knowing where the space program will eventually lead us. But, the adventure has truly begun! Kennedy Space Center, Shuttle Mission 41-B February 3, 1984. Art size: 36" x 50"
Kent Sullivan TITLE: "Florida Homecoming" Challenger created a cycle on this tenth mission (41-B) by taking off from Kennedy Space Center on February 3,1984, and then landing there on the Shuttle landing strip on February 11, 1984, making it truly the worlds first spaceport. The cycle was complete. As a parallel, space flight was conceived by the mind of the artist. When technology caught up with imagination, the spacecraft program was born with all the realities. Now that NASA commission artist to depict space exploration, the cycle is complete. Kennedy Space Center. Art size: 32" x 28"
Kent Sullivan TITLE: "Coffee Break Politics" A person cannot walk away from the Space center without a sense of astonishment. I was watching these two welders take a break, and it impressed on me the importance every small detail makes in relation to man flight into space. Without the dedication of literally thousands of men, the Space program would never get off the ground. I had to ask myself if these men felt a thrill by being a part of this history-making phenomenon, or if they were just doing a day's work. In every big machine- Sometimes good sometimes bad - the small parts make it go. Too often, the nuts and bolts overlook the role they are fulfilling. Art size: 24" x 30"
Kent Sullivan TITLE: "We've Been Waiting for this for a long time haven't we?" This Sentiment expressed by one employee to another reflects the feelings of all NASA and Contractor personnel who gathered to watch their months of work in motion at last. The discovery rolled out of the VAB on July 4, 1988, at 12:50 AM. Art size: 24" x 48"
