    About This Concept Art
    Apollo 15 First Use of Lunar Rover Vehicle on the Moon
    1970 Acrylic water color painting wall mural display for the RCA facility showcasing RCA contributions to Apollo 15 and the first use of the Lunar Rover Vehicle on the surface of the Moon in July 1971. The astronaut in the foreground is shown pointing the high-gain antenna that transmitted the live TV broadcast directly to earth. Pointing the antenna with sufficient accuracy was tricky because, when pointed correctly Earth nearly filled the field-of-view in the sighting scope.
    Moon Man Publishing "Inventing Apollo" The Artwork of James Burns
    This exclusive collection of James Burns artwork reveals the lunar landing and lunar exploration in a way never before seen by the public.
    Moon Man Publishing's Founder Alan Scalone's father, Sam Scalone, worked with James Burns at RCA on the Apollo Moon Mission Projects. Sam as one of the mechanical engineers and James as the concept artist worked hand in hand with the engineering team to invent and design the equipment that would ultimately be built and used on the Apollo Moon landing missions and other NASA space programs.
    These drawings were used in the top secret meetings where NASA decided to approve or not approve funding to build the equipment seen in the artwork. The outcome of these meetings and James's drawings determined how man would go to the Moon, the equipment they would use, and the very creation of the communications equipment that allowed the world to witness man’s first steps on the Moon.
    Concept art created of the actual equipment used on the Moon, drawn BEFORE the equipment was ever even made yet! Extremely rare and unique artwork!
