ABOVE MARS - Mars Transfer Vehicle Stabilized By Gravity Gradient In Mars Orbit Oil on board, 11 x 14 inches, 2019 A Mars Transfer Vehicle (MTV) orbits above Mars, stabilized by gravity gradient. The MTV uses nuclear thermal rocket propulsion. The large red-orange fuel tanks contain liquid hydrogen. By pointing its long axis towards Mars, the MTV is able to remain stably parked in Mars orbit and save on attitude control fuel. Signed by the artist at lower right and on the back. Framed by the artist in a distressed metal frame.

I am a planetary scientist who loves to draw and paint. My artwork is about space and time, and our tiny yet hopeful place in their vastness. I draw and paint about our distant past, events we've survived, our profound cosmic loneliness, and where we might go from here. Mars is the challenge of our time. Humans going to Mars will be greatest adventure in space exploration this century. Beyond Mars, we should journey to Saturn's moon, Titan, and one day, to the stars and deep into spacetime. Although I am optimistic about our future in space and time, we face a daunting challenge in their exploration. Our spaceships are frail arks launching into an indifferent cosmic ocean. Spacesuits are covered in grit. Rovers break down. It's the engineering reality of our dream. I have in my garage a primitive spacetime machine in which I can, at considerable risk, visit distant worlds and other epochs. My artwork is my travel log. To see more of artwork: www.pascallee.net
