a_v_bw_o_n (Grumman LM, no. 67351)
Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation (GAEC) print/artwork, ca. 1967, depicting Lunar Module ascent stage liftoff.
Odd that the descent propulsion system nozzle seems to be shown as having made contact with the lunar surface. In fact, it looks like it's dug in a little. The vehicle does have the squat ‘low-rider’ appearance, with the primary landing struts collapsed, i.e., pushed all of the way in. Must have been a pretty hard landing. ;-)
It's GAEC artwork. Although no signature is present, by Craig Kavafes? Doesn't quite look like it to me.
