VOYAGER
In 1977 the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory launched the Titan IIIE rocket from Cape Canaveral,
Florida. On board the rocket were two of the most advanced spacecrafts ever
built, each carrying an important message from Earth. The mission was set to be
one of the greatest space missions ever, taking advantage of the once in a
lifetime alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The planetary
mission soon became an interstellar mission as both spacecrafts journeyed
deeper into the unknown boundaries outside our solar system.
Mission Overview:
This 112 page coptic
bound publication looks at the entire mission from the initial plans and
discussions, to the spacecrafts current location and statistics. Printed on
120gsm Munken, embossed and vacuum sealed cover
Mission Overview, with unopened vaccum seal.
Process:
The coptic bound publication and foil vaccum wrapping was inspired by the space food that astronauts transport with them when on missions. A strong use of bitmap and greyscale aligns the publication to space exploration and references back to iconic NASA manuals and leaflets.
Risograph Experiment:
An abstract publication
created using a series of images and diagram from the JPL
Voyager webpage. Two layer pink and blue risograph print, perfect
bound.
