Hermes space shuttle, artwork
Hermes space shuttle, artwork. This proposed European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft was intended to perform a role similar to that of NASAs Space Shuttle. It would have been launched into orbit with an Ariane 5 rocket, with a Resource Module (RM, not shown) attached to its rear. After separating from the RM, it would have re-entered the atmosphere and glided back to Earth. The initial design by the French space agency (CNES) dates from the 1970s. Approval was obtained in 1987, but the project was cancelled in 1992. It would have weighed 21 tons, been 19 metres in length, and had a crew of three

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Hermes space shuttle, a remarkable artwork that represents the ambitious plans of the European Space Agency (ESA) in the late 20th century. Designed to fulfill a role similar to NASA's iconic Space Shuttle, this proposed spacecraft was intended for manned missions into orbit and back to Earth. The image depicts the Hermes shuttle with its sleek white exterior against a clean background, emphasizing its engineering marvel. The concept behind this ESA project originated in the 1970s by the French space agency (CNES), gaining approval in 1987. However, despite its promising potential, unfortunate circumstances led to its cancellation in 1992. Nevertheless, this artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancements during that era. With an impressive weight of 21 tons and measuring approximately 19 meters in length, Hermes would have been launched into space using an Ariane 5 rocket. Attached at its rear would be a Resource Module (RM), not shown in this illustration. After separating from the RM, Hermes would gracefully re-enter Earth's atmosphere and glide back home. Although it never had the opportunity to soar through space like its American counterpart, this stunning depiction of Hermes reminds us of humanity's ceaseless pursuit of exploration beyond our planet's boundaries. It stands as a symbol of innovation and determination within Europe's contribution to rocketry and space flight history.
