About This Design

USAF Orbiting Vehicle OV1-8 Satellite Poster

USAF Orbiting Vehicle OV1-8 Satellite Poster

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.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame. This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again. One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up. Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font. Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
