Mariner 4 poster commemorating first flyby of Mars

Mariner 4 poster commemorating first flyby of Mars

JPL celebrated Mariner 4's successful first flyby of Mars in 2004. I created this image, which composited together a cutout of the actual spacecraft with the real image track across an early image of Mars. The blurry Mars had finally come into sharper focus!

My image was never actually used as a poster but a cropped thumbnail version of it did end up here.
