The photograph

Kennedy Space Center, 6 February 2018. Demo Flight liftoff, photographed by Kim Shiflett. Falcon Heavy climbs on three cores, condensation frost on the stack, white-hot plume against a dark slate sky.

The mission

SpaceX Falcon Heavy · Demo Flight 1

This was the first flight of Falcon Heavy, then the most powerful rocket flying. The point was to prove the vehicle: three cores lighting together, booster recovery, a payload to a heliocentric orbit that reaches as far as Mars. The dummy cargo was Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster, permanently attached to the upper stage, with a mannequin in a SpaceX suit in the driver’s seat. NASA photographed the liftoff from its own pad.

The print

Glossy metal print. 16 × 20 in. Dye-infused into aluminum, not paper under glass. A hidden float mount sits the panel ½ in off the wall. Made to order in the US and ships in the US.

What you receive

You get the aluminum print itself, with the photograph dye-infused into the metal. The float mount is already on the back. Hang it from a screw or nail that fits the slot; no separate frame.

It ships in rigid packaging so the edges and face stay protected. Keep the wrap on until you hang it.
