NASA Asteroid Capture Poster

This is a poster I made for a near-future NASA mission/program that aims to capture an asteroid and redirect it into lunar orbit to prove as a testing ground for a manned mission to Mars. The poster helps to simplify this endeavor by visually depicting the paths the asteroid might take when approaching lunar orbit. One of these paths shows the slim chance of an impact resulting in catastrophic mission failure. The photograph of the moon was taken by me and contains many smaller images of the moon’s surface through the use of a high-powered telescope connected to my digital camera.
