The Chart of Cosmic Exploration, A Detailed Poster of Every Space Exploration Mission

The Chart of Cosmic Exploration by Pop Chart Lab is a detailed poster of every space exploration mission to leave the Earth’s orbit. The poster features hand-drawn illustrations of each spacecraft and shows their path around the solar system.

Probe the solar system from Mercury to Pluto with this stellar schematic of space exploration! From the Luna 2 in 1959 to the DSCOVR in 2015, this color-coded chart traces the trajectories of every orbiter, lander, rover, flyby, and impactor to ever slip the surly bonds of Earth’s orbit and successfully complete its mission—a truly astronomical array of over 100 exploratory instruments in all. Featuring hand-illustrated renderings of each spacecraft juxtaposed against the serried giants of our solar system, this galactic survey is a testament to man’s forays into the grand cosmic ballet.
