About This Website

Welcome to Historic Spacecraft.Com!

A lifelong fan of space exploration, I’ve taken quite a few photos over the years. As many of these images may be of interest to other space history enthusiasts, I’ve started to post some of them to this webpage.

Hopefully, this page will provide a valuable resource to space modelers and space exploration historians. I plan on photographing more space artifacts in the future. Any major gallery additions will be noted on the homepage.

In addition the photo galleries, I have included an extensive links page, lists of upcoming space exploration events, a timeline of historic missions, and a quotes page. I have plans for additional features as time allows.

Finally, as a freelance technical illustrator, I’ve created a number of space exploration themed graphics over the years. Some of these illustrations were created for use in educational materials and some for publication in magazines. I have recently formatted many of these designs for inclusion on a variety of products available through CafePress.

Click on the Product links on the menu bar to view a selection of these products. Or, visit my CafePress storefront – Explore Store – to view the entire line of products.
