Architectural Inspiration for Exploration

Artist's concept of the link between innovation, old and new. In crafting a robust Mars Exploration Program, Naderi finds inspiration in renaissance architectural feats such as Brunelleschi's dome in Florence, which was ultimately used as a giant sundial helping navigation on Earth, opening up exploration around the globe. Naderi hopes today's missions leave the same kind of inspirational legacy to the future as the dome has given to us.
