316-spacestation-dixon – software cover featuring old design of International Space Station (known then as "Freedom"). A conceptual space art painting depicting an early configuration of a modular space station, resembling the International Space Station design, in low Earth orbit. A Space Shuttle orbiter is shown approaching from below, its payload bay empty as it prepares to dock with the sprawling complex of pressurized modules, radiators, and large solar array panels. The entire scene is dramatically backlit by an intense, rayed solar sunrise bursting over the curved blue horizon of the Earth, with a small gibbous Moon visible in the upper left quadrant. acrylic and gouache, 1994
