THE
DREAM
ROCKET
PROJECT
Thousands of artworks from various regions of the world are being collected. Eventually, all pieces will be connected side by side to wrap the skeleton of a 385’ Space Launch System replica rocket and will be placed on temporary display at locations around America.
Originally, DRP's intent was to wrap the Saturn V Moon rocket replica at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL, in May - June 2015, however in October 2014, DRP participants voted to pivot the project to reflect NASA’s dream rocket, the SLS.
America’s new heavy-
lift rocket will be the largest launch vehicle
ever built and more
powerful than the Saturn
V rocket that carried
Apollo astronauts to the
moon. In 2017, NASA will launch Exploration Mission One to demonstrate
the integrated system
performance of the rocket and spacecraft
prior to a crewed flight.
The selected themes for art submissions encourage individuals to expand beyond the present state of the world and imagine
our future. Perhaps most
importantly, individuals
are challenged to imagine their contributions to that future.
These individual dreams and aspirations will combine to create a monumental work of art, providing a tangible demonstration of the beauty of individuals
collaborating to meet
universal challenges.
All submitted artworks
will be placed on display
and continue traveling to
venues up until the time
that the SLS replica rocket is built and wrapped.
