Mission Control at JPL, Pasadena, California
The Network Operations Control Center, or " mission control", at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. JPL runs NASAs planetary exploration programme, & it is from this room that the Viking mission to Mars, the Voyager mission to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune, & other missions are controlled. The photograph was taken during Voyager 2s encounter with Neptune in August 1989. A crescent Neptune is displayed on the screen at top left. The surface of Triton, Neptunes large moon, is on the colour screen at top centre

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 captures the heart of scientific exploration at Mission Control, located in JPL, Pasadena, California. Known as the Network Operations Control Center or "mission control" this room serves as the nerve center for NASA's planetary exploration program. It is from here that groundbreaking missions such as Viking to Mars and Voyager to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are meticulously controlled. Taken during Voyager 2's historic encounter with Neptune in August 1989, this photograph showcases a momentous event in space exploration. The top left screen displays a crescent Neptune, its ethereal beauty captivating all who lay eyes upon it. At the top center of the color screen lies Triton – Neptunes' large moon – revealing its enigmatic surface. The image encapsulates both human ingenuity and technological prowess. Scientists and engineers huddle around monitors filled with data streams and intricate controls while working tirelessly to unravel the mysteries of our universe. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity and determination to push boundaries beyond what was once thought possible. This snapshot immortalizes an awe-inspiring moment when humankind reached out into the depths of space to explore distant worlds.
