This poster commemorates the 3rd Planetary Congress of the Association of Space Explorers. The Congress took place October 19-23, 1987 in Mexico City, Mexico. Bearing the authentic and original signatures of the thirty-one participating astronauts and cosmonauts from eleven nations, it is part of a series of limited edition posters that have been produced and signed at each ASE Congress since the Association was founded in 1985. One hundred and thirteen posters were signed at the Third Congress. The poster has two headings, the main heading in English at the top, with the Russian displayed at the bottom. Around the periphery are printed translations of "Association of Space Explorers" in the native languages of all individuals who have flown in space. Clockwise, from upper right with English at the top, they include Mongolian, French, Polish, German, Arabic, Italian and Hungarian, The background is taken from NASA archive photo # 83 HC 213 which has been used for each set of posters in the series. The central image of the poster features a space helmet with the Earth reflected in the visor as rendered by Russian cosmonaut and artist Alexei Leonov, The helmet logo was introduced in 1987 as the official logo of the Association of Space Explorers; an orbiting space station was incorporated into the image for this poster to reflect the Congress theme, “The Next Generation in Space.” |
