Overview| Launch abort| ATTITUDE CONTROL

The Dragon capsule, also known as the pressurized section, allows for the transport of people as well as environmentally sensitive cargo. Dragon is equipped with Draco thrusters that allow Dragon to maneuver while on orbit and 8 SuperDracos that power the spacecraft's launch escape system.

The launch abort system is a crew safety system built into the Dragon spacecraft, used to quickly separate Dragon from Falcon 9 in the unlikely event of an emergency. In the unlikely event of an emergency, Dragon's launch abort system can quickly separate the spacecraft from Falcon 9. Using its SuperDraco engines, Dragon will propel itself away from the launch vehicle.

The Dragon spacecraft is equipped with 16 Draco thrusters used to orient the spacecraft during the mission, including apogee/perigee maneuvers, orbit adjustment and attitude control. Each Draco thruster is capable of generating 90 pounds of force in the vacuum of space.

I Paint “Bodyscapes” That Glow Under Black Light

"Coming from a photographic background I want my paintings to be as photo realistic as possible. In a darkened studio, while painting with UV body paint under the illumination of the black light, I’m literally painting with light. From the artist’s perspective it becomes a very surreal even spiritual experience."

6 Artists Whose Art Is out of This World

6 Artists Whose Art Is out of This World

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Painting the sky, the stars, and the planets is a skill as old as time itself. Long before we as a species knew anything about the universe and our place within it, artists were looking upwards to the skies for inspiration. These are six of the best examples of art inspired by outer space over the centuries.

Siennese master Giovanni di Paolo brings together two of the most potent stories in the Bible-the Creation and Adam and Eve's expulsion from Paradise-in this mesmeric panel entitled The Creation of the World and The Expulsion from Paradise (1445).

On the left, God is being carried above the Earth he has created by a host of angels. Di Paolo has positioned Earth at the center of a celestial globe, ringed by bands depicting first the four elements-water, fire, air, and earth-then the sun and other planets, and finally the constellations.

Credited with bringing the Renaissance to Northern Europe and lauded as the finest printmaker the world has ever seen, Albrecht Dürer, born in Nuremberg, Germany in 1471, was a polymath par excellence. A writer, a painter, a graphic artist, an engraver, and a woodcutter, he was the Midas of the art world-the man with the golden touch.

His two celestial maps- Map of the Northern Sky and Map of the Southern Sky (c1515)-produced from woodcuts, are the two oldest star charts printed in Europe and the first to place the constellations accurately. The Map of the Northern Hemisphere depicts Aratus, Ptolemy, Al-Sufi, and Marcus Manilius-the leading astronomers from Ancient Greece, Egypt, Persia, and Rome respectively-each holding a globe.

Few artists capture the mysteries of space in such wonder-filled images as Étienne Léopold Trouvelot, who settled in Massachusetts in 1851 after fleeing France following a coup d'état by Napoleon III. Trouvelot produced more than 7,000 drawings of the solar system and the splendor and accuracy of his work so impressed the director of Harvard College Observatory that he invited him to join his staff.

Fifteen of the illustrations he produced during that time were published by Charles Scribner's Sons as The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings (1882). Each one is an enchanting representation of his observations, exquisitely executed in pastels over a period of years and each one captivates the heart and mind with its aliveness. The movement captured in The November Meteors, The Great Comet of 1881, Aurora Borealis, and even in Planet Saturn, which you can almost see rotating, keeps you transfixed for hours. Yet for all that, Trouvelot wrote that "no human skill can reproduce upon paper the majestic beauty and radiance of the celestial objects". Admirers of his work would disagree.

"This morning I saw the countryside from my window a long time before sunrise, with nothing but the morning star, which looked very big," wrote van Gogh to his brother Theo, describing the view from his window at the Saint-Paul Asylum, Saint Rémy, where he was a patient between May 1889 and May 1890. It was a view that inspired dozens of artworks, including The Starry Night, one of his most emotionally charged and absorbing pieces. The painting is dominated by an agitated, dense sky punched with burning golden stars, the Moon and Venus, while in the foreground a cypress tree-a symbol of death and mourning-reaches upwards towards the swirling blues of heaven.

"Vincent van Gogh, La Nuit Étoilée," at the Atelier des Lumières, Paris, until December 31st, 2019, is a digital exhibition that takes visitors into the heart of the artist's most celebrated works, including The Starry Night (1889). The 35-minute sound and light show tells van Gogh's story through the projections of his pictures, screened on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the gallery.

Artist and astronomer Lucien Rudaux's passionate love affair with the galaxy began when he was a child in Normandy and never waned. He built his first telescope when he was only 10 years old, then joined the Société Astronomique de France when he was 18. He set up his own observatory in his parents' garden in Donville-les-Bains not long after, photographing the Moon and planets and creating an atlas of the Milky Way.

His images were engrossing, but it was Rudaux's skyscapes that earned him his reputation as the grandfather of space art. Combining aesthetic beauty, extraordinary imagination, and accurate representation, they were decades ahead of their time, showing the planets as he envisaged they'd look from their neighboring moons, and holding up well even now. Interestingly, Rudaux also tried his hand at depicting aliens, and in one painting showed them as multi-limbed creatures with human torsos, waving cheerfully at each other and wearing jaunty hats. A 65 km crater on Mars is named after him.

Scottish artist Katie Paterson has exhibited at London's Hayward Gallery and Tate Britain, New York's Guggenheim, Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. She has worked with NASA and the European Space Agency to create evocative pieces that live long in the mind and spirit.

At its most simplistic, her work is based on the wonder of nature-its vulnerability and resilience, its ephemerality, and its endurability-and on her endless fascination with the cosmos. In Campo del Cielo, Field of the Sky (2012-2014), she melted and recast back into its original shape a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite before launching part of it back into space, and in All the Dead Stars (2009), she charts the original location of 27,000 extinguished stars. Totality (2016) is a mirrored ball that depicts almost every solar eclipse ever documented, from drawings that are centuries old to recent photographs.

Summer was approaching in the Northern Hemisphere on June 12, 2010, when the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter looked home to acquire this image. In orbit around the Moon, the orbiter was about 372,335 kilometers from Earth. Skies over the Middle East were clear, providing a cloud-free view of Arabian Peninsula and the mountains of Iran and Pakistan. Bright clouds stretch in a line from India northeast over the North Pacific Ocean. The other bright region in the image is the polar ice cap over the Arctic Ocean. The reference map provides a cloud-free view to illustrate Earth's orientation in the image.

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera captured this image as part of a calibration exercise. Like the human eye, the camera records reflected light. The cameras are among seven instruments that are mapping the surface of the Moon from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which orbits 50 kilometers above the Moon. Mapping the Moon is a challenge because its color does not change greatly. Changes in rock types provide only small shifts in color. To make sure that the cameras are accurately recording small changes in reflected light, engineers look for a bright light against a dark background to provide a reference point. From the Moon, Earth is an ideal reference point to calibrate the cameras.

The Narrow Angle Cameras-the cameras designed to capture the most detailed images of the Moon-took this image during calibration. The image is a mosaic of the views recorded by the Narrow Angle Camera Left and Narrow Angle Camera Right. The bottom of the Earth is clipped because the prediction of the exact time when the cameras' fields of view would cross the Earth was off by a few seconds.

We Go to the Moon! – The Art of Robert McCall

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard!" John F. Kennedy, Sept. 12, 1962. Rice University, Texas.
Huh! What did he say?
President Kennedy's speech, kicking off the Space Race, was inspired words. But everyone knows the real reason we went to the moon. We went because it was COOL!

What showed us how cool it really was going to be was the artwork of Robert McCall. In the Space Age of the 1960's, at a time when fuzzy black and white TV had only three channels, magazines like LIFE and LOOK were universal cultural arenas. Everyone, and I mean the entire population, saw the contents of these weekly publications. With a solid background in commercial illustration Robert McCall began to work for LIFE, and later directly for NASA, letting us see and feel what voyaging into 'the final frontier' would really be like.

Robert McCall's paintings of astronauts and space-craft of the present and future were at the same time both emotional and technically accurate. With vivid color and style he portrayed a highly scientific endeavor as a grand heroic adventure. McCall's artwork made it all real and believable. It fit our imaginations. It captured and lifted high into the starry sky our proud hopes and dreams.

It was the artist inspired with paint and canvas. An ancient phenomenon that has recorded most of oue history. Sadly, today's cheap and childish computer illustrations are not even a remote imitation. Present day 'creative' expressions of space exploration have all the fun and zeal of a bureaucratic budget conference. 'CAD' renderings of children's blocks and Tele-Tubby astronauts.

Robert McCall was born in 1919 and lived to be 90. He lived and felt our rise from Kitty Hawk to the Sea of Tranquility. As a commissioned artist he witnessed 25 rocket launches; felt the thunder in his bones. It is my rough estimate that for every dollar spent for Robert McCall's artwork, NASA gained at least a million back in appropriations and public support.

It is because he was an artist... it's because he made it look COOL!

NEW YORK - Lining the back wall of a posh, brightly lit art gallery is a small slice of the country's "Space Coast," right in the middle of Manhattan's artsy Chelsea neighborhood.

The new exhibit, which features the painted work of Florida artist and photojournalist Lloyd Behrendt, captures the sacrifice, glory and future transition of the nation's space program. Behrendt's work is part of the "Melodies of the Moon & the Sky" on display through July 5 at the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery.

Behrendt's sequence of three paintings tells a striking story about NASA and its space program, which is currently undergoing a monumental shift with the retirement of the agency's space shuttles. After 30 years, NASA is retiring the iconic orbiters to focus on exploration missions beyond low-Earth orbit, such as to an asteroid or Mars. [ Most Memorable Space Shuttle Missions]

Behrendt, who has photographed hundreds of rocket and shuttle launches from Cape Canaveral since 1996, created his pieces to commemorate the ending of the storied space shuttle era, and to mark the future of the country's space program.

Picture worth 1,000 words
The first painting, called "Sacriflight," depicts the final launch of the shuttle Columbia on Jan. 16, 2003. Columbia broke apart over northeastern Texas as it returned to Earth from its 16-day STS-107 science mission. Seven astronauts were killed in the disaster.

An investigation later found that heat shield damage to Columbia's left wing, which was incurred just after liftoff, was the cause of the disaster on Feb. 1, 2003.

The decision to represent Columbia's fated launch was an attempt "to represent the accomplishments of the STS program and to memorialize the precious sacrifices of those lost over the years as we have explored the harsh and sometimes unforgiving environment of space," Behrendt told SPACE.com.

The second piece, titled "Handoff," captures the landing of the shuttle Atlantis at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to conclude its STS-132 mission. Initially, the STS-132 flight was scheduled to be the last for Atlantis, but in February, NASA announced that it would fly Atlantis on its STS-135 mission to round out the shuttle program.

"I had already begun this work thinking at the time the piece was the last landing of Atlantis," Behrendt said. "Then fate stepped in and gave Atlantis the last-ever flight on STS-135, and then a permanent return to KSC afterwards. The show kind of built itself out of current events."

To represent the future, Behrendt illustrated the maiden launch of SpaceX's commercial Falcon 9 rocket. The Hawthorne, Calif.-based company is one of several firms hoping to provide commercial services to NASA following the end of the shuttle program.
SpaceX and the rise of private spaceflight
Behrendt's third piece, called "Sword from the Stone," forms the cornerstone of his showing, and was created from a photo he took of the historic launch from the top of the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center. From this perspective, his camera captured an unusual atmospheric "halo" around the rocket just after liftoff. It was something, "that no one else seems to have picked up, but my film did," Behrendt said.

The Falcon 9 piece, which took Behrendt two months to create, is also a nod to SpaceX's trailblazing CEO, Elon Musk.

"He is not afraid to shake things up, he is a doer, and, for the first time in many years, he has begun to change the way we build and launch rockets," Behrendt said.

Coincidentally, the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery is located in the same building, but several floors above, the showroom for electric carmaker Tesla Motors, of which Musk is also the CEO.

"I'd like to think it was fate," Behrendt said with a smile.

"Space Coast" Lands in New York City
The depictions of the launches are black and white silver prints, colored with transparent oil paints. Also on display is Behrendt's "Study for Falcon 9," which was used to create the larger Falcon 9 piece, and which highlights the unique halo feature.

"These extraordinary historical space images are arresting and possess a depth and drama that is quite unique," Ruthie Tucker, executive director and curator of the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery, said in a statement. "They speak directly to the mind's eye, creating an unforgettable impression as he records for posterity humanity's steps to reach the stars."

At its heart, Behrendt's showing celebrates the accomplishments of the American space program and the artist's own passion for the industry he grew up around.

"A great many advances we take for granted today have come from the nation's space program, and the work at the Cape that the launch and support teams have performed is some of the most amazing work ever achieved by mankind in a peaceful effort," Behrendt said. "I have been blessed to be a witness to it, and I am humbled to have such an amazing platform from which to share what I have seen."

What do Colors Symbolize?

Colors hold significance for people around the world. Not only do colors influence emotion, but they also hold meaning in religion and various cultures. On this page you will get answers to questions like, "What does the color red symbolize?" This question is answered differently depending on where you are located in the world. If you don't see what you are looking for on this page, please put your questions in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

Western world:

Traffic lights: Red means stop, yellow means caution, and green means go. Yellow signs also warn drivers of upcoming curves, pedestrian crossings, and animal crossings.
Patriotism:
Most, if not all countries have a flag. The colors of each flag are usually seen as patriotic. Red, white, and blue symbolizes patriotism in the U.S.A.
Holidays:
Red and green are favorite Christmas colours. Colors of Autumn such as orange, brown, yellow and red are associated with Thanksgiving with black and orange associated with Halloween. Pastel colors are used for Easter. Because flowers are a common gift for Mother's Day, colors such as yellow, pink, and red are used frequently.

Eastern World:

Marriage: White and pink are favorite just as in the western world.
Green: Eternity, family, harmony, health, peace, posterity
Happiness: Red
Helpful: Gray
Wealth: Blue, gold and purple
White: Children, helpful people, marriage,
mourning, peace, purity, travel
Gold: Strength, wealth
Evil or sadness- Just like in the western world- black.

Emotions:
Blue is seen as conservative. Red is power and aggression. Brighter colors such as yellow and orange represent warmth not only with emotions but also with temperature. Cool colors are blue, green, black or any color with a dark shade. When someone is feeling down or depressed, it is said they are feeling "blue." When someone is angry they "see red." When someone is seen to be afraid or "chicken" they are called "yellow."
Ecology:
Obviously green is the major color symbolizing ecology. The new phrase for people or companies who find ways to cut back on electricity, fuel, or things that damage the environment is "going green."
Phrases:
When something is seen as opposite, extreme, or a firm position, it is said to be "black or white." When something is not clear or not in a firm position, it is said to be a "gray area." The blues describe a form of music.
Religion:
Colours are also used in religious ceremonies or represent aspects of religion. Native Americans include colors in religious ceremonies. The Navajo Nation considers four colors to be important: Turquoise, white, yellow, and black. These colors represent four sacred mountains. The Apache Nation also considers four colors to be important: Green, white, yellow and black. These are sacred colors of the white mountain and are also used in government. The Iowa Nation also considers four colors to be sacred: Black, yellow, red and white. They represent direction, their flag, and what they consider to be four races of man. [ 1]

In Tibetan Buddhism, blue is the color of Vairochana, a celestial Buddha, whose image is the immensity of sky blue. [ 2] Buddhist monks wear orange (specifically the color saffron) robes primarily due to tradition. That was the least expensive color dye at the time and that is what they continued to wear. The robes themselves symbolize "simplicity and detachment of materialism." [ 3]

Green is the traditional color of Islam. The Islamic flag is green. Green is also mentioned in the Quran as the color of garments, cushions and carpets in paradise. [ 4]

In Hinduism, saffron is their most sacred color. Saffron represents fire that burns our impurities. Yellow represents knowledge and learning. The color green of the Maharashtra represents life and happiness. The color blue is like infinity like the vastness of the oceans and sky. [ 5]

In Christianity, the color red symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ and of sacrifice. White represents the body of Christ. Black represents sin in Catholic liturgy. Gray is the color of ash and this represents repentance in Catholicism. Purple is the liturgical color for the seasons of Advent and Lent. Heaven is described as having a lot of gold in buildings and streets. White and silver are used in liturgy during Christmas and Easter. [ 6]

The Bible says that many in the Middle East and Rome valued colored gems and jewelry. Red and white coral was used for beads and ornaments. Red rubies and light blue turquoise were given as gifts. (Ezekiel 27:16)
Use in Medicine and Therapy:
Colors are sometimes used in therapy (Also called Chromotherapy). Colors have a huge effect on people who have brain disorders or who are emotionally troubled. The color blue has a calming effect on many people and lowers respiration and blood pressure. Red has the opposite effect. Some therapists use green to sooth and relax emotionally disturbed people who suffer from anxiety or depression. Some claim that the color violet is good for migraines and in "cases of cellulitis caused by a poor elimination, heaviness or sluggishness after eating, disorders of the spleen, bladder and kidney." [ 7] Yellow helps energize people and relieves depression.
Color in World Culture
Color means many different things to different people and cultures. We all have our own favorite colors. People like different colors like they like different foods. Color also represents feelings, people, countries, cultures, and color symbolism. In the western world, the color red is seen frequently of symbolizing anger or aggression. Some car insurance companies charge more for red cars because some of the owners of red cars are more aggressive or take more risks.
Books about Color
Black: The History of a Color- Black-- favorite color of priests and penitents, artists and ascetics, fashion designers and fascists- has always stood for powerfully opposed ideas: authority and humility, sin and holiness, rebellion and conformity, wealth and poverty, good and bad. In this illustrated book, the acclaimed author of " Blue" now tells the fascinating social history of the color black in Europe.

Color and Meaning: Art, Science, and Symbolism- Does color have an effect on our feelings? The phenomenon of color is examined in new ways in John Gage's latest book. His study is informed by the conviction that color is a contingent, historical occurrence whose meaning, like language, lies in the particular contexts in which it is experienced and interpreted.

Veiled Brightness: A History of Ancient Maya Color- Veiled Brightness reconstructs what color meant to the ancient Maya, a set of linked peoples and societies who flourished in and around the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and Central America. By using insights from archaeology, linguistics, art history, and conservation, the book charts over two millennium of color use in a region celebrated for its aesthetic refinement and high degree of craftsmanship.

Pantone Guide to Communicating with Color- This authoritative guide presents hundreds of color combinations and color principles needed to create effective designs. Every lesson is demonstrated by example, enabling designers of all specialties and levels of experience to make the best color choices for every type of design.
