'What sets your prints apart from others online?'

The main difference from other prints online is our upscaling process - our team have carefully adjusted the images (the originals taken with written permission from the NASA archives), so that they're not blurry from simply scaling-them up. Great care and time has been taken to ensure no features have been edited out from the originals or changed in anyway to ensure historical accuracy. But we want to provide customers with images that will have a lasting 'wow' factor every time you see it.

'Why have you done this?'

To put it simply: the limits of technology at the time of many of the missions, meant that some images were taken using as little as 1.6 megapixels. Which in historical context was amazing but resulted in some graininess and blur. In order to achieve a good-quality and larger print size, this needed addressing. The size of the product (frame) is 40cm x 50cm, with the internal image (inside the frame) being 30cm x 40cm. We've done our best to ensure images have been respectfully adjusted to today's standards - however as ever some graininess or slight blur might remain in much older examples.

INFO:

There's nothing quite like the shot of a rocket just before lift-off. Even if it's only taking satellites into low-Earth orbit. The anticipation of the countdown, the plumes of smoke vapour and the raw-power of the engines - all makes for an incredible image captured here. It also comes with an information insert which gives you details about the image, date it was taken and mission details.

PRODUCT DETAILS:

Our limited-run space print comes on high-quality 242GSM paper, it's a C-type print, meaning it has a greater range of colours and more colour separation in the blacks (perfect for space photos). They're notoriously tough and don't scuff or scratch easily. However, you need not worry - as all frames come with a protective PS screen to avoid smudging the artwork. They're hand-packed and shipped (UK only) securely with FREE UK delivery.
