1960's JET PROPULSION LABORATORIES. JPL RANGER/MARINER SPACE PROBE MATTED IMAGE

Description

JPL MATTED COLOR PHOTO IMAGE OF THE RANGER 1-9 OR MARINER 2 MOON SPACE PROBE. THEY ARE SIMILAR YET HAVE SLIGHT VARIATIONS.  I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT HAVING MORE EXACT INFORMATION. THE PHOTO IS MATTED ON A NAT MAT CARDBOARD. WHICH YOU CAN DATE TO THE 1960'S. THE IMAGE IS EITHER PAINTED OR PHOTOGRAPHED. I CANNOT SEPARATE THE SMALL PHOTO IMAGE FROM THE BOARD. IT DOES HAVE THE JPL LOGO AT LOWER LEFT CORNER. THE IMAGE IS JUST UNDER 13 1/2 INCHES X EXACTLY 10 1/2". THE IMAGE AND BOARD MEASURE 15 1/2" X 12 1/2".
DISPLAY IMAGE AT OFFICE OR HOME EVEN AT SCHOOL. GREAT PART OF HISTORY. FASCINATING CHAPTER IN OUR EXPLORATION OF SPACE.
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PIECE. NOT A COPY OF ANY TYPE.
THE RANGER PROJECT OF THE 1960'S WAS THE FIRST U.S EFFORT TO LAUNCH PROBES DIRECTLY TOWARD THE MOON. THE SPACECRAFT WERE DESIGNED TO RELAY PICTURES AND OTHER DATA AS THEY APPROACHED THE MOON AND FINALLY CRASH-LANDED INTO ITS SURFACE. A VARIETY OF DIFFICULTIES PLAGUED THE FIRST SEVERAL ATTEMPTED MISSIONS IN THIS SERIES, BUT THE LATER RANGERS WERE FINALLY A COMPLETE SUCCESS.
