Posters are printed in Los Angeles, CA on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper heavyweight stock, with a wide color gamut and Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. The framed poster arrives wrapped in a protective yet lightweight black frame and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector that won't break during shipping.

Artist Statement

Russia has a proud history of space exploration, much like the United States of America. In the 60's and 70's the USSR sent more than a dozen probes to flyby and land on Venus while competing with the Americans to put a man on the Moon. Venera 9 was launched on June 8, 1975 and consisted of an orbiter and a lander. The orbiter was the first spacecraft to orbit Venus, while the lander was the first to return images from the surface of another planet. I think it is this imagery that is important to us as human beings. We can calculate and measure but we really want is to see and feel. — Chris Adams
