In conjunction with the NASA Ames Research Center Exchange, Oxcart Assembly has conceptualized a set of high quality, limited-edition collectible posters hand-drawn by artist Neal Williams of Epic Problems Print Shop and Design Studio and screen-printed on the highest quality paper. Neal recently created the official poster for SXSW 2020’s film festival and is one of the industry’s highest regarded artists.
The series kicks off with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and commemorates the landing of the Mars Perseverance Rover and Mars Ingenuity Helicopter (landing on February 18th) with additional posters on a regular schedule to match NASA Mission highlights.
Over the past two decades, missions flown by NASA’s Mars Exploration Program have shown us that Mars was once very different from the cold, dry planet it is today. Evidence discovered by landed and orbital missions point to wet conditions billions of years ago. These environments lasted long enough to potentially support the development of microbial life. The Mars 2020/Perseverance rover is designed to better understand the geology of Mars and seek signs of ancient life. The mission will collect and store a set of rock and soil samples that could be returned to Earth in the future. It will also test new
technology to benefit future robotic and human exploration of Mars.
The 18” x 24” Official Screenprinted Poster was created for NASA Exchanges. 6 Colors on 100 lb. Cougar Natural paper. Numbered and Signed. Limited edition set of 2000.
The visuals include not only Perseverance Rover's intricate detail, but also Ingenuity Helicopter as well as local landmarks in Pasadena, California including familiar buildings at Jet Propulsion Laboratory and CalTech, the Moon and Mars in the background.
