NASA’S ORION TEST FLIGHT
MEMENTO DESIGN

OVERVIEW

Modern Good was “starry eyed” to have it’s cover design of “We Shall Overcome” on the Orion Test Flight of December 5th, 2014.

Several artistic works commissioned by Lockheed Martin were aboard, including a recording of “We Shall Overcome” arranged by NASA’s honoree Nolan Williams. Mr Nolan Williams contacted Modern Good a few weeks prior to the test flight with this unique design request. We were of course honored but got to work immediately since it was due the following day!! NASA waits for no-one.

The cover states the following:
Special limited edition (1 of 10) published in commemoration of NASA’s exploration flight test-1 of Orion and in cooperation with Lockheed Martin Corporation. This limited edition printing honors humankind’s enduring quest for exploration and discovery and acknowledges the rich legacy of African-Americans to American culture and the nation’s space endeavors
