Congratulations to all the participants of Fluxface in Space.
After nearly a year of planning and delays, our mission of organizing and presenting an exhibit in orbit has been accomplished with the landing of the Space Shuttle Endeavour STS-134. Both phases of the project have been completed.
Well done - we did it! If you would like to host an exhibition of the photo documentation of the Fluxface in Space project, please contact Cecil Touchon at the Fluxmuseum.

Thank you to all who came along on the journey and to those at NASA who made it possible.

All Systems Go for STS-133. We Hope!!!
Good news! After months of delays, Space Shuttle Mission STS-133 is scheduled to launch on Thursday February 24, 2011 at 4:50 PM, EST from the Kennedy Space Center, FL - USA.
Let's hope for a spectacular lift-off and a safe return. In addition to carrying a large portion of our Fluxface in Space images, the Space Shuttle Discovery will deliver the Express Logistics Carrier-4 (ELC-4), a Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) and critical spare components to the International Space Station.
Update: The final mission STS-134 is scheduled for late April 2011. The actual date is uncertain at this time.
For those who haven't heard, the commander of this final Shuttle Mission, STS-134, will be Mark Kelly, the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords who was seriously wounded by a gunman on January 8, 2011 in an assassination attempt. Gabrielle is making a remarkable recovery and it is hoped she will be attending the launch ceremony.

Thanks to Everyone
I would like to thank Gary and Angela and all of the wonderful artists who have contributed to this historic exhibition. I am not sure any other museum can claim to have had the first contemporary, international group art exhibition in space. If anyone knows of such I would like to hear about it. Otherwise, congratulations to everyone for our wonderful success. I see that there are many fine works and what an inspiring display of global participation with artists from 26 countries! It is also a pleasure to see photos of all of the artists.
The shuttle missions will take off, I believe once this fall and the other early next year. So we will have to see what we can do to stir up some interest in our project as the launches approach. We shall like to have the exhibit travel around the surface of the world as well as in orbit and be seen by many. If you think you can arrange an exhibition in your city please drop a line to discuss the idea and place your city on the itinerary. The exhibitions will have to be arranged much like the Book About Death, in established art centers, museums or other art gallery environments. The exhibits could be as short as a week or even weekend so that we can arrange as many as possible in the coming months. If you have a science museum in your area perhaps they may have an interest in such an exhibit.
If you have a website or other online blog, network site page etc. please post an image of Angela's lovely rocket postcard and a link to this blog to help draw more audience to the exhibition.
Again thank you for making this a great exhibition.
