Before Curiosity, Perseverance, and the Ingenuity helicopter, there was Viking—the very first spacecraft to successfully land on the Red Planet in 1976. Commemorate the 50th anniversary of this monumental achievement with this stunning, high-quality screen print poster.
Designed by Thomas Romer of Chop Shop Studio, this piece is a true work of art. The landing configuration was meticulously modeled for accuracy by Viking expert Tom Dahl. It’s printed using a traditional 4-color screen printing process by Vahalla Studios. Unlike standard digital posters, each color in this print is pressed individually through a stencil, resulting in vibrant, tactile layers of ink that give the artwork a premium, artisanal feel.

🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"This poster is incredibly special to me, especially with the 50th anniversary upon us. Thomas Romer's design is beautiful, and knowing that Viking expert Tom Dahl consulted on the landing configuration makes it a must-have for space history buffs. Speaking of Tom Dahl, we’re actually partnering with him to commission a museum-quality replica of the Viking lander for the shop in the future—so consider this poster a sneak peek of the incredible tribute to early Mars exploration that we are building!"
