"This time, when we go to the Moon, we will stay. And then we will use what we learn on the Moon to take the next giant leap - sending astronauts to Mars ” — NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine
NASA inspired Moon to Mars illustration by Oktopolis: The Art of Brian Miller
This commemorative poster style illustration Moon to Mars is inspired by the historic announcement to send astronauts back yo the moon, and then on to the red planet, Mars.
NASA's Artemis program plans to launch male and female astronauts to the moon by 2024. When they arrive they will take one small step where no human has walked before, the lunar South Pole.
Orion spacecraft will carry four crew members to dock with the planned Gateway lunar orbital station. Located about 250,000 miles from Earth, the Gateway will enable astronauts unfettered access to the lunar surface and serve as the platform for deep space exploration.
NASA plans to launch Orion using their most powerful rocket, the Space Launch System, from the spaceport at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. SLS is designed with enough thrust to take astronauts from the moon to deep space, including missions to Mars, and beyond.
The Process started with a grayscale comp that evolved into the final color design. The illustration was created using Adobe Illustrator Draw on Apple iPad Pro using the Apple Pencil. Then the artwork was exported to Adobe Photoshop where the typography and halftone patters were composited with the illustration and the final color separation was created. After being revealed via social media collectors wanted a version of the poster they could own.
This museum-quality art print of Moon to Mars is illustrated by artist: Brian Miller (Star Wars, The X-Files, Doctor Who) and produced on heavy matte, acid-free, archival paper in three sizes: 12" x 18", 24" x 36", and 18" x 24".
These NASA inspired collectable art prints are exclusively available from Oktopolis.
