CONTENT
A series of three books, with each being a significant year of the Voyager Mission. Physicalising the existence of the spacecraft and it’s presence, with each page representing a day from the SFOS data. (SFOS: Space flight operation schedule)
Atmospheric data is the data visualization with an element of personal response in terms of what I felt about the Voyager Mission by NASA. To physicalise the connectivity between the space craft, bringing the notion of the mission to life and real. The data provided by NASA was tabulated and the plan was for each book to contain that year’s worth of activity, presenting a day as a page.
As the year goes recent the color of the book gets darker, as a response that it is further out into space. every sheet was also letterpressed with a colorblock of that year on top, bringing out the atmospheric element in the printed data.
