S93-45583

S93-45583 (1993) — (Artist’s concept of possible exploration programs.) Pressurized surface rovers allow lunar explorers to extend their travel capabilities far beyond the limitations imposed by their space suits. The crew can service remote facilities, such as lunar telescopes, and conduct long-range geological traverses. This image was produced for NASA by John Frassanito and Associates. Technical concepts from NASA’s Planetary Projects Office (PPO), Johnson Space Center (JSC).

S89-25056

S89-25056 (January 1989) — This is an artist’s concept depicting a possible scene of astronauts walking on Mars during a dust storm. The artwork was part of a NASA new initiatives study which surveyed possible future manned planetary expeditionary activity. Scientists and researchers involved in the study, realizing that a hostile environment will confront long-distance space travelers, note the requirement of highly specialized technologies and systems, e.g., the durable type suits, depicted here, for protection against the dust storm. This painting was done by Paul DiMare.
