Artwork of Apollo spacecraft over Moon
Apollo spacecraft. Artwork of one of the Apollo spacecrafts used to land men on the Moon. The left half, called the command and service module (CSM), carried fuel, rocket engines and the command module pilot, who remained in orbit during a landing. The right half, the lunar module, separated from the CSM to land on the Moon. The bottom half of the lunar module remained on the Moon after completion of the mission and the top part returned to lunar orbit to dock with the CSM. Only the central, v-shaped part of the craft - the command module - returned to Earth. The last Apollo spacecraft to land on the Moon was Apollo 17 in 1972

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork of the Apollo spacecraft hovering gracefully over the Moon's surface. A symbol of human ingenuity and exploration, this particular spacecraft played a pivotal role in landing men on the lunar landscape. Divided into two halves, each with its unique purpose, it exemplifies the complexity and precision required for such a monumental mission. The left half, known as the command and service module (CSM), housed essential components like fuel, rocket engines, and most importantly, the command module pilot who remained in orbit while their fellow astronauts embarked on their lunar descent. On the right side lies the lunar module which separated from the CSM to touch down on our celestial neighbor. Once its duty was fulfilled, only its bottom half would remain behind while its top part rejoined with the CSM in lunar orbit. A testament to human achievement and determination is encapsulated within this artwork; it represents mankind's ability to push boundaries beyond Earth's atmosphere. The Apollo program marked an era of manned spaceflight that forever changed our understanding of what is possible. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by Science Photo Library, let us reflect upon humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration that culminated with Apollo 17 - marking both an end and a beginning for space travel as we know it today.
