STS31_v_c_o_TPMBK (HST dep, Ball Aerospace photo)
“The Hubble Space Telescope being deployed by the Space Shuttle Discovery.
Painting by Ball Corporation artist B. Scott Kahler.”
A visual feast. Granted, as the artist for a company that contributed major, mission saving hardware, specifically, Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR), I guess it should be; however, Mr. Kahler went above & beyond. Look at the detail, ranging from the tiles - their detail, variance & discoloration - to the reflection of Discovery in HST’s aluminized Teflon skin…even an accurate “aspirational” moon, and everything in between.
Ludwik Źiemba would be proud.
Additionally, a beautiful artist's concept of STS-61/SM-1 EVA activity by another premiere 'Space Shuttle artist', Paul Hudson. And, what a pleasant & unexpected surprise, it's at the NASA image website:
images.nasa.gov/details-s93-48826
And check this out, this SOB/ass-clown went apeshit with a bunch of photos I’ve posted and/or linked to in my postings.
And never a single “thanks”:
