Martian origami. The little Sojourner Mars Rover sits on the left petal of the Mars Pathfinder lander, Oct 1996. Sojourner weighed just 23 pounds (10.6kg) & became the 1st rover to operate beyond the moon when it landed in 1997. Pathfinder was the 1st successful lander on Mars by NASA since the 2 Viking missions in 1976. Sojourner was expected to operate between 1-4 weeks yet it served for 3 months, gathering important data on Mars for scientists back home.

From the archives - a school project i did back in 2012 (final semester of art school) attempting to depict a crew of cosmonauts, secretly stranded on a failing soviet weapons platform (perhaps even as their country dissolves on the planet below). The initial images are the finals, and the rest is all the development!
July 1974, the Soyuz 14 crew, cosmonauts Yuri Artyukhin and Pavel Popovich on the Baikonour launchpad ready for their 14-days mission aboard the Salyut 3 space station. Flight engineer Artyukhin wore an Omega Flightmaster cal 911 chronograph, which was auctioned at Heritage Auctions in 2016 for US $ 13750. (Photo: RKA/TASS)

It almost looks like a high school yearbook photo, Anna Lee Fisher looks so young. Instead it’s her astronaut photo taken by NASA in 1979 when she completed her 1st year of training. Dr. Fisher flew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery in Nov 1984 to become the 1st mother in space. It was also the 1st Shuttle mission which deployed & retrieved 2 communication satellites. Space heroine!
The last person to orbit the moon & spacewalk in deep space; Ronald Evans on Apollo 17, Dec 1972. Mr. Evans also holds the record for longest time in lunar orbit at 148 hours. Chosen in Group 5 in 1963, he was also backup on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975.
