About This Design
USAF Orbiting Vehicle OV1-8 Satellite Canvas Print
OV1-8, was an experiment to test the utility of the aluminium grid sphere as a passive communications satellite versus prior balloon satellites (e.g. NASA's Project Echo). It was made of a soft aluminium wire grid imbedded in a special plastic designed to dissolve in space under the sun's strong ultraviolet rays. On July 13, 1966, the USAF grid-sphere payload was launched atop an Atlas booster. It went into orbit 620 miles above the earth and was automatically inflated with helium. The plastic covering soon dissolved, leaving a 30-foot diameter open aluminium structure orbiting the earth.

Pleased with product and it goes beautifully with my decor. I have already looked to make further purchases. Very nice, although I wish I had ordered slightly larger print to get more characters on
