Orion and crew headed home.
The capsule separation stuck in my mind and made me feel something inexplicable. What a spectacular sight. And hoping the crew would be okay on their long journey home.
Planning on doing as many of these as I can, til I empty this paper pad.
Mixmedia: gouache paints, watercolor, carbon ink, acrylic ink, acrylic paint on black mixmedia paper
Went on a weekend jaunt down to the US Space and Rocket Center!! Had to take the cutest little microgravity indicator with me!!
And we are off!!!
Getting ready to take Rise on an adventure in a few days!!! Any guesses?!?!!
Lil Orion says hello to the 🌙
A bit of an experiment with acrylic gouache and me using it completely wrong with a pallets knife. A technique I tried before on a previous Artemis art. Very fun!
Have to share the lil Orion spacecraft before I possibly destroy her attempting to cut her out to add to another bit I've been working on
She is very jellyfish shaped. Space jellyfish
So back in 2014, I remotely participated in a public programme for NASA's Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1). Launched uncrewed on December 5, 2014, atop a Delta IV Heavy rocket, the 4.5-hour test flight successfully orbited Earth twice to rigorously evaluate the spacecraft's heat shield and critical safety systems. I received a personalized "I'm On Board" certificate. A symbolic Frequent Flyer Miles, if you would, and had my name stencilled onto a microchip that flew aboard the Orion capsule during its 4.5-hour test flight (alongside the names of everyone else in the world who participated in the programme).
Now, my name has also been added to a memory card that will be attached to a plaque onboard the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, traveling a million miles away. After launch on August 30, Roman will journey way out to the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L2), the same orbit as our James Webb Space Telescope.
I'm not a frequent flyer, but it would seem that my *name* is a dedicated enthusiast of going anywhere that is not on this Earth for a little while....
