This gold-plated sculpture is inspired by the Ariane 5 rocket that played a pivotal role in the James Webb Space Telescope's journey to the stars. The rocket and launch was one of the European Space Agency's largest contributions to the mission. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the sculpture stands as a symbol of human exploration and scientific achievement. Its sleek and intricate design faithfully recreates the iconic rocket, capturing the essence of space faring technology. The lacy structure of the launch cloud is made up of the launch trajectory and gravity map of Lagrange point 2, the gravity balanced location where Webb lives in space. The launch clouds are shaped to resemble the Pillars of Creation, one of the telescope’s most iconic images. The sculpture celebrates the historic mission that brought the Webb Telescope safely to space. It serves as a tribute to the European partners that made the mission possible and delivered a flawless launch. Exploring the stars cannot be done alone - not by one person, agency, or country. Space travel is a collective human endeavor and a testament to what can be done when humanity sets aside its differences and works as one.
