  • Viking Lander, Charles O. Bennett - Martin Marietta, 1975
    Bennett started out as a security guard at Boeing, slowly working his way into illustration and became a illustrator for Martin Marietta. Here his envisioning of the lone Viking Lander beginning its work on Mars. This lander would be the first to give us close up photos of the surface and test the rocks and soils. An uncommon illustration. Condition is good with minor tears at the bottom near the titling. Image size is approximately 19 x 24.25 (inches)
