#SpacetoberChallenge Day 31: Future

Star Trek’s “Phoenix” was Earth’s first crewed warp-capable ship.

A future with an FTL ship launched on the back of an obsolete ICBM leading to an egalitarian society without hunger, exploitation, or material needs would be pretty nice. #Spacetober

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 30: Galaxy

NGC 4565 (also Caldwell 38 or "The Needle" galaxy) is an edge-on spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years away. #Spacetober

A close-up of my polar orbit example drawing

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 29: Orbit

Polar orbits are those that are near-perpendicular to a body’s rotation and are the best method for scanning and mapping that body’s surface. #Spacetober

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 28: Astronaut

NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless, the first person to use the Manned Maneuvering Unit in an untethered free flight in space, traveled more than 91 meters (300 feet) away from the Space Shuttle Challenger during the historic spacewalk. #Spacetober

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 27: Habitat

Carried by Artemis IV as part of Phase 2 of the Gateway Space Station, the Lunar I-Hab module will provide living quarters for astronauts as well as multiple docking ports for berthing vehicles and other modules. #Spacetober

A full page view of my drawing from Day 1 of an uncoloured Apollo rocket launching from Earth

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 26: Earth

(I’m going to claim a free pass on this one because I was overzealous on the Day 1 prompt anyway) #Spacetober

A full page view of my drawings to date with the addition of a the Sputnik satellite at the center

A close-up view of Sputnik

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 25: Historic Mission

Sputnik 1 was the first artificial Earth satellite. It was launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957 and sent a radio signal to Earth for three weeks before its batteries died and it fell back into the atmosphere on January 4, 1958. #Spacetober

A full page view of my drawings to date with a top view of the QueSST jet near the lower right corner

A close-up of the jet

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 24: Jet/Plane

The X-59 QueSST ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology") is an experimental supersonic aircraft expected to cruise at Mach 1.42 (1,510 km/h; 937 mph) at an altitude of 55,000 ft (16,800 m) and will reduce the loudness of sonic booms reaching the ground. #Spacetober

Four b-29 superfortress planes flying against and blue, gold and orange sky.

Two mitsubishi zero fighter planes flying against a blue and gold sky

Three red tail p51 mustang planes flying against a blue and white sky

Today’s #spacetober is jet/plane. I don’t have any jets, yet, but I do have planes.

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 23: Space Station

The Lunar Gateway is a planned space station to be assembled in orbit around the Moon as part of the Artemis program. Phase 1 will launch a Falcon Heavy with the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO). #Spacetober

Stylized image of the ISS cupola looking out over the planet and into space.

Today’s #Spacetober is Space Station, apparently. I got something for that. Not sure if I ever posted this over here. www.monkeyminionpress.com/products/int...

A full page view of my drawings to date with the addition of a lunar lander near the Apollo crew capsule and above a curved lunar surface, all at the right edge of the page

A close-up of the Apollo crew capsule above the lunar lander and the curved surface of the moon

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 22: Lunar Landing

The Apollo Lunar Module was the lander flown between Moon’s orbit and its surface during the Apollo program. It was the first crewed spacecraft to operate exclusively in space, and remains the only crewed vehicle to land anywhere beyond Earth. #Spacetober

A full page view of my drawings to date with an eight pointed star near the center having a prismatic flare to each point

A close-up of the little star with its very long points

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 21: Star

A quick little yellow star (with bonus lens flares). #Spacetober

Today’s prompt in @spacetober_challenge is Star. I thought I’d share a digital composition that I ve created and use as part of my Sciart & science art workshop resources. Science outreach is one of my passions - the sharing of science knowledge through fun and creativity. #Spacetober #Sciart

A full page view of my drawings to date, with the telescope in the upper left corner

A close-up of the telescope (with Chris Hadfield and a Iridium satellite in view)

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 20: Telescope

I love the Hubble Space Telescope story: its primary mirror was ground to the wrong shape so a new optical component was installed with exactly the same error but in the opposite sense, acting as "spectacles" to correct the spherical aberration. #Spacetober

A full page view of my drawings to date, with an Apollo capsule added to the right side of the page

A close-up of the Apollo capsule

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 19: Crew Capsule

Apollo command and service modules were made up of a capsule for crew and equipment needed for atmospheric reentry and splashdown, and a cylindrical service module which provided propulsion, electrical power and storage for each mission. #Spacetober

A full page view of my drawings to date with the Schiaparelli EDM attached to a previously drawn parachute with its heat shield falling away, all in the bottom right corner of the page.

A close up of Schiaparelli EDM attached to a parachute and its separated heat shield. The ESA logo is close by.

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 18: Mars Mission

ExoMars Schiaparelli EDM (Entry, Descent, and Landing Demonstrator Module) was meant to test technology for future soft landings on the surface of Mars but suffered from an anomaly that ultimately caused its impact on the surface. #Spacetober

Spacetober Challenge - the Prompt today is Mars/Mars Mission. This is my digitally drawn portrait of Perseverance Rover, which is currently exploring the Jezero Crater where it landed in February 2021 & is searching for signs of ancient microbial life. Created using Adobe Fresco. #spacetober #sciart

A full page view of my drawings to date, with a sideways floating astronaut’s head and shoulders peeking into the page from the upper left corner.

A close-up of the astronaut, revealing a bushy moustache drawn on the otherwise opaque helmet.

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 17: Historic Person

Chris Hadfield was the first Canadian to perform extravehicular activities while in outer space.

He also has the first song recorded in space, "Jewel in the Night." #Spacetober

Sometime silhouettes are really cool😝 #art #inktober #spacetober #digitalart #blackhole

Spacetober Day 13: Interstellar Pitstop
Forcing me to do backgrounds😭 (helps me get better in the end😏) #art #digitalart #inktober #spacetober #spacepitstop #spaceships

Spacetober prompt for today is Historic Figures. I’ve created a portrait of Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and Neil Armstrong. From my Circles Portfolio. #Spacetober #digital #sciart

3 days behind 3!! But this turned out great because i took longer😉 #art #spacetober #dragon #stars #inktober

A full page view of my drawings to date: at the top center is the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft beside the Eros asteroid drawn earlier

A close-up of NEAR Shoemaker and Eros

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 14: Spacecraft

NEAR (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) Shoemaker was the first spacecraft to orbit an asteroid (Eros) and land on it successfully. #Spacetober

(In hindsight, I wish I’d drawn it facing the other way so the solar panels were aimed at Eros’ light source. Oops!)
