A 37-panel NASA art exhibit
titled “America’s Space Program Through Artists’ Eyes” will
illuminate the exhibit center at the International Space Symposium,

Baudis in Toulouse. The exhibit honors the recent 40th anniversary
of the founding of Kennedy Space Center on July 1, 1962.

of the space symposium. The exhibit, which includes copies of
original works of art prepared by renowned artists in honor of
America’s Space Program, features images of the Mercury, Gemini,
and Apollo Projects; the Space Shuttle Program; International
Space Station; and Deep Space.
