From the archives - a school project i did back in 2012 (final semester of art school) attempting to depict a crew of cosmonauts, secretly stranded on a failing soviet weapons platform (perhaps even as their country dissolves on the planet below). The initial images are the finals, and the rest is all the development!
struggled with drawing this guy. just focused on the gesture and that really helped.

Timelapse of Europa & Io orbiting Jupiter, shot from Cassini during its flyby of Jupiter
It almost looks like a high school yearbook photo, Anna Lee Fisher looks so young. Instead it’s her astronaut photo taken by NASA in 1979 when she completed her 1st year of training. Dr. Fisher flew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery in Nov 1984 to become the 1st mother in space. It was also the 1st Shuttle mission which deployed & retrieved 2 communication satellites. Space heroine!
A Soyuz spacecraft is seen as it lands with astronaut Shane Kimbrough of NASA and Russian Flight Engineers Sergey Ryzhikov and Andrey Borisenko near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan on Monday, April 10. Kimbrough, Ryzhikov, and Borisenko are returning after 173 days in space onboard the International Space Station.Â
While living and working aboard the space station, the crew members contributed to hundreds of experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science aboard the world-class orbiting laboratory. For example, the Microgravity Expanded Stem Cells investigation had crew members observe cell growth and other characteristics in microgravity.Â
Results from this investigation could lead to the treatment of diseases and injury in space, and provide a way to improve stem cell production for medical therapies on Earth. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
