Mars 96 surface station, artwork
Mars 96 surface station. Artwork showing one of the surface stations of the Russian Mars 96 mission landing on Mars after being released from orbit. This missions launch on 16 November 1996 failed and the spacecraft broke up as it re-entered the Earths atmosphere. It carried two surface stations and two penetrators. The surface stations were each contained in an aeroball, seen here below the parachute. The aeroball would cushion the impact and then deflate to allow the station to unfold. Instruments, including the US Mars Oxidant Experiment, would have measured meteorological, physical and chemical conditions

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 55.1cm (16.5" x 21.7")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork depicts the Mars 96 surface station, a key component of the ill-fated Russian Mars 96 mission. Launched on November 16,1996, this ambitious endeavor aimed to explore and unravel the mysteries of the Martian landscape. However, tragedy struck as the spacecraft disintegrated upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. In this image, we witness one of the surface stations gracefully descending onto the red planet after being released from orbit. Safely nestled within an aeroball beneath a parachute, this innovative technology would have cushioned its impact before deflating to allow for unfolding. The surface station housed a multitude of instruments designed to measure meteorological conditions such as wind speed and temperature changes. Additionally, it carried out experiments to analyze chemical composition and physical properties of Mars' environment. Notably, among these instruments was the US Mars Oxidant Experiment. While this mission ultimately ended in failure due to launch complications, it serves as a testament to humanity's unwavering spirit of exploration and technological advancement in our quest to understand distant worlds beyond our own solar system. This remarkable illustration captures both the grandeur and fragility inherent in space exploration while reminding us that even amidst setbacks and challenges, scientific curiosity continues driving us forward towards new frontiers.
