VIII Congress of the Association of Space Explorers: Autographed Commemorative Poster

This poster commemorates the 8th Planetary Congress of the Association of Space Explorers. The Congress took place August 23-30, 1992 in Washington, DC. Bearing the authentic signatures of eighty-two of the participating astronauts from eighteen nations, it is part of a series of limited collector's edition posters that have been produced and signed at each ASE Congress since the Association was founded in 1985. Only 200 editions of this poster were signed at the 8th Congress. There are only 6 left!

The central image of the poster features a point perspective composite photograph of the planet Mars produced by the US Geological Survey. Surrounding Mars are the flags of the twenty five nations that have flown citizens in space at the time of the Congress. The image symbolizes the conviction of ASE members that a journey to Mars should be an international effort that draws upon the strengths of all nations.
